In an era of increasing complexity in drug development and real-world use, patient safety must be re-centered as a multidisciplinary, patient-facing function - not just a regulatory requirement. This panel, Rebuilding Safety Around the Patient: Moving Medical Safety Beyond the Silo and Back to the Bedside, explores how safety science can evolve beyond traditional silos to actively engage with patients, clinicians, and data at the point of care. Panelists will share practical strategies for bridging the gap between pharmacovigilance and patient experience through cross-functional collaboration, patient-reported outcomes, and ethical transparency. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on reimagining medical safety as a bedside ally rather than a back-office function.
