Course Overview:
Have you ever wondered how serious incidents can, unfortunately, take place?
In this 2-hour session, we will review basic Human Factors content, before moving onto actively applying Human Factors considerations to healthcare, with a particular focus on patient safety outcomes. We will then discuss a range of serious incidents that have occurred locally in recent years, and start to think analytically, in order to understand what went wrong, and how those incidents could have been avoided. These sessions are facilitated by a clinical staff member, up to consultant level.
Learning Objectives:
- Review basic Human Factors concepts
- Build on previous knowledge, with a focus on patient safety
- Discuss good/bad team-working and its impact on patient care
