AbstractThis narrative review manuscript aims to raise the difficulties and opportunities for patient safety in specialised healthcare training considering undergraduate, postgraduate, specialist and continuing education, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also suggests some proposals for carrying it out. It very briefly discusses this specific training and its current situation in primary care. Highlighting that patient safety is a need, an area of competence and a training opportunity for residents. It establishes the general framework of patient safety in primary care in the document "7 steps for Patient Safety in Primary Care", stating the need for a systemic approach. It highlights the elaboration and presentation of cases on clinical errors as the most frequent training strategy. The real-life clinical scenarios relate to difficult patients, critical incidents and bioethics issues in professional practice. These scenarios have as common characteristics, the fact to produce difficulties and suffering for all the actors involved. Several instruments for training in patient safety are also included. The medium-term goal is to consolidate clinical safety in specialised healthcare training. Finally, an analysis is made of the impact of the pandemic on patient safety training, particularly on specialised healthcare training and some proposals are recommended on how to carry out safe teaching in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic.Copyright © 2021.
