Please send an outline of a presentation you would like to be considered to info@safeincommon.com

    The online conference series is part of Safe in Common's ongoing efforts to spark innovation, awareness and change across the healthcare spectrum, with a core focus on the Needlestick Safety Pledge. The events are presented as part of Safe in Common's continued mission to unify and educate people about the risks of needlestick and sharps-related injuries.
