As highlighted by our guiding principles, the next step in furthering the patient safety research agenda in the ED setting is for researchers to align with safety scientists to explore novel research methods to address the priorities we identified.
This requires making bold choices sometimes, and venturing outside our safety zones to explore the myriad of opportunities that life has to offer, and grow.
Our core aims are to understand the mechanisms by which multimorbidity leads to safety failures, to explore the different ways in which patients and services respond (or fail to respond), and to identify opportunities for intervention.
In 2011, a focus group was held with patient health and safety experts to explore their views concerning risks that Canadian medical tourists may be exposed to in purchasing private medical care abroad.

This paper reviews the construction safety literature in order to explore the extent to which the knowledge generated by research considers the situated nature of safety learning and, therefore, addresses the needs of industry practice.
Specifically, we aimed to assess how the workforce perceived the level of safety of their service, to explore perceived interactions between professional groups, and to identify issues that might undermine team performance and thereby put safety at risk.
