Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Practical Patient Safety demonstrates how core principles of safety from industries such as aviation, nuclear and petrochemical can be applied in surgical and medical practice, giving the reader practical advice on how to start patient safety training within his or her department or hospital.
MoreLong description:
Following recent high profile cases of surgical error in the UK and USA, patient safety has become a key issue in healthcare, now placed at heart of junior doctor's training. Errors made by doctors are very similar to those made in other high risk organisations, such as aviation, nuclear and petrochemical industries. Practical Patient Safety aims to demonstrate how core principles of safety from these industries can be applied in surgical and medical practice, in particular through training for health care professionals and healthcare managers.
Whilst theoretical aspects of risk management form the backdrop, the book focuses on key techniques and principles of patient safety in a practical way, giving the reader practical advice on how to avoid personal errors, and more importantly how to start patient safety training within his or her department or hospital.
The authors' last paragraph says 'Be brave. The fact that you have bought this book means you are in the vanguard of change'. Those bringing up the rear, who have not bought it, should borrow a copy from their more enlightened colleagues.
