Human Factors for Surgeons and Healthcare Professionals (online)
This training comprises a suite of interactive e-learning sessions supported by real-life case studies to enable learners to apply principles to their practice. Adverse incidents are an inevitable part of clinical practice.
In surgery, human factors is a broad and complex field that encompasses non-technical skills, safety science and system design. Human factors is a recognised generic professional competency (GPC) by the General Medical Council (GMC), Joint committee on Surgical Training (JSCT), and medical indemnity societies.
Human factors allows surgeons to:
- Manage errors before incidents occur
- Learn from adverse events
- Improve team performance and morale
- Facilitate greater patient safety.
This training will be beneficial for those with leadership responsibilities in a surgical team, as well as those who aspire to such positions. In doing so, surgeons and other health professionals will be better positioned to create effective, supportive and just clinical teams centred on patient safety.
