Collection: Healthcare Human Factors

Healthcare organisations around the world are facing increasing challenges when it comes to patient safety. Despite modern equipment and excellent training, elevated levels of patient safety failures still occur, with unintentional harm affecting up to 10% of hospital admissions and over 100,000 people in the US alone dying each year as a result of medical errors. Our Human Factors training in healthcare courses are designed to address these issues by enhancing clinical performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, equipment, workspace, culture, and organisation on human behaviour in clinical settings. Our comprehensive training programme helps participants develop cohesive environments, build cultures where all personnel feel empowered to speak up if they suspect a problem, and equip them with non-technical skills that complement technical competency. By participating in our Human Factors training programmes, healthcare staff will gain a thorough understanding of the human causes of error and develop the ability to take a proactive approach to the avoidance, trapping, and mitigating of errors.
