Patient safety and outcome are critically dependent on the competence of healthcare personnel.

Building real competence is a step-by-step process. It includes acquiring new knowledge and skills, getting used to making quick and safe decisions, training realistically in teams, and gaining clinical experience. Maintaining and increasing competence is an ongoing process.
