title: Vantage point - Learn by reflecting.
abstract: EDUCATION IS described as a 'bridge to quality' ( Greiner and Knebel 2003 ) and, for this reason, teachers must be involved in putting safe patient care on students' radar. They can do this by teaching students how to meet their healthcare system's demands relating to high quality care, and how they can improve individual patient care.
