Resumen: Este artículo de revisión y actualización tiene como objetivo plantear las dificultades y oportunidades para la formación en seguridad del paciente del personal de ciencias de la salud (grado, posgrado, formación especializada y continua), y algunas propuestas para llevarla a cabo. Muy brevemente trata esta formación específica y la situación actual en atención primaria, destacando que la seguridad del paciente es una necesidad, un área competencial y una oportunidad formativa para los residentes. Establece el marco general de la seguridad del paciente en atención primaria, teniendo como referencia el documento «Siete Pasos para la Seguridad del Paciente en Atención Primaria», planteando la necesidad de un abordaje sistémico. Destaca la elaboración y presentación de casos sobre errores clínicos como la estrategia formativa más frecuente. Los escenarios clínicos reales se relacionan con los pacientes de trato difícil, los incidentes críticos y la bioética en el ejercicio profesional. Estos escenarios presentan como característica común el hecho de producir dificultades y sufrimiento a todos los actores participantes. Se incluyen varios instrumentos para la formación en seguridad del paciente (SP). La meta, a medio plazo, es la consolidación de la seguridad clínica en la formación sanitaria especializada. Finalmente, se analiza la repercusión de la pandemia en la formación en seguridad del paciente, especialmente sobre la formación sanitaria especializada, haciendo propuestas de cómo llevar a cabo una docencia segura en tiempos de pandemia de COVID-19. Abstract: This 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.
