Abstract
Nutrition care is not always recognised as a patient safety issue. This article explores the origins of the patient safety initiative and seeks to
identify possible connections between nutrition care and patient safety. Examples of tools that can be used to improve the safety of nutrition
care are provided. This is also a call to action as patient safety data for nutrition care in the South African context are lacking and much can
be learned from worldwide patient safety initiatives.
