Human Factors for Safe and Effective Teams

 



Cultural Awareness in Healthcare

A critical aspect of team working, both with colleagues and patients, this latest course from Atrainability aims to raise personal cultural awareness, with the ultimate aim of maintaining a positive influence on safety.

This course has been co-developed with Dr. Katrin Alden, an NHS clinician and clinical lecturer for Cardiff University, and looks to offer a more engaging learning opportunity than the many e-learning solutions emerging.

The training can be delivered either on-line as an eLearning course or by one of our instructors on-site if appropriate Covid secure measures are in place.

Human Factors


Avoidable error and associated harm is sadly 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 building, communication 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.

“Brilliant course, well-presented & held my attention throughout. I really thought about my practice & how the team reacts. Really made me think & gave me simple actions that I can implement on a day to day basis.”
Julie Johnson - Manager

“I can honestly say that the two Atrainability Human Factors courses that I have attended have been two of the most influential and beneficial courses I have attended, they have made a huge change to my clinical practice”
Rachael - Doctor of Emergency Medicine
“Frimley Park Hospital PGMEC had the privilege of hosting Trevor Dale who led 2 workshops on "Safety in Clinical Practice" to our surgeons and theatre staff. These sessions were informative, inspiring and have challenged us to rethink how we deliver a safe service to patients in theatres. Trevor was erudite and entertaining throughout the sessions!”
Patrick Fon Sen Chong - Consultant
Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon
“This course has really helped me understand more about the human elements of errors and error reporting. We focus a lot in healthcare on systems and process and it’s really widened my thought processes around how we behave as humans and how that impacts on what we do when we’re working.”
Julie Jones – Birmingham Healthcare NHS Trust
