We would be grateful if you will consider our manuscript entitled “Interdisciplinary Differences in Patient Safety Culture within a Teaching Hospital in a South East Asia” for publication in your journal. Few studies to date have evaluated patient safety culture in Asia. We conducted a survey involving over 5000 healthcare workers at a large teaching hospital in Malaysia and evaluated differences in responses between professional groups. Our findings found that overall agreement scores exceeded the satisfactory cut-off scores of 60% and so did all domain scores apart from stress awareness. There were significant differences, however, between professional groups, with nurses having superior scores in nearer all domains compared to doctors, allied health professionals and support workers.

We are certain that our novel findings would be of great interest to your readers, particularly to address the gap in international publications on patient safety.
