[Theory of training and quality of safety in health]

This article aims to define the concept of security, particularly in relation to concepts of risk, error, danger and adverse events. The authors go on to analyse the latest theory of adult training, applying it to healthcare safety whilst recognising that this is a complex facility. By using tools such as guidelines and risk management, the authors propose a new kind of corporate culture that enables certain initiatives, such as clinical governance and therefore learning organisation, to develop. This strategic organisation the company allows vital knowledge and experience, which lead to problem-solving and an increased guarantee of security for both internal and external clients, to become the common knowledge and property of the company as a whole and of all who operate in and around it.
