What is Human Factors ..
Avoidable error and associated harm sadly are not decreasing and the associated costs are a tremendous drain on financial resources and contribute to staff sickness and burnout. There are increasing vacancies in health and social care that are simply untenable.
Human Factors play a crucial role in improving team function and safety. it examines the relationship between human beings and the systems with which they interact. It covers aspects of behaviour such as communication, situation awareness and self-awareness.
Human error cannot be eliminated, but with the right tools, awareness and planning the behaviour and actions which can lead to error can be mitigated, avoided and learned from.

Atrainability was formed in 2002 by Trevor Dale and Guy Hirst, both then training Captains with British Airways and members of the Development Training team.
This team had developed and delivered the Human Factors - based training that revolutionised flight training in the 1990's and continues. This included instructional skills courses.
In 2002 Trevor and Guy first tackled healthcare with participation in a research project at Great Ormond Street Hospital for children, in London. That work delved into the non-clinical skills of teamworking for safety and resulted in multiple peer-reviewed papers.
From there projects for the Royal College of Surgeons and across the UK NHS and a multitude of public and private healthcare organisations followed.
He continues to deliver a wide variety of safety-related training and is available for bespoke projects.
Trevor is Chair of Cranleigh Civic Society and Cranleigh Heritage Trust CIO. The latter is a charity dedicated to conserving the first cottage hospital of its kind in England.
Long married with 4 children and 9 grandchildren, he finds time for further local community voluntary work.
Current Activities
Trevor is currently delivering lectures, coaching and training in Human Factors across all areas of healthcare and other high risk and high reliability professions, including, emergency services, liquified petroleum gas distribution and aviation with training providers and the ICAO cabin crew training working group.
He is also available for bespoke projects with the focus on practical measures to enhance personal and team safety.
Trevor now also works in partnership with Download Learning to develop and deliver time-sequenced learning modules in a wide variety of professions and industries. This methodology offers significant enhancements in reducing time to deliver sustainable learning.
