**7. Professional development**

Patient safety science continues to be an ever-changing field in health care. Continuous professional development in all disciplines and lifelong learning are essential to meeting patients' expectations, regulatory requirements, personal growth, and job satisfaction. An integral part of the development and organization of a safety program within an institution is continuing professional development. This requires a well-developed systematic approach to individual and team growth, in conjunction with technology implementation and invariably uses principles of human-engineering science. Enhancing communication between professionals, various services, and with patients requires leadership involvement in creating an environment of excellence [55].
