Summary

Human factors understanding focuses on optimising human performance through better understanding the behaviour of individuals, their interactions, with each other and with their environment. In health care, it underpins patient safety, offering an integrated approach to quality improvement and clinical excellence. In this episode, we are in conversation with HEE deputy dean and physician Jo Szram, surgeon Peter Brennan, BA pilot Graham Shaw and Obs & Gynae trainee Ruth-Anna Macqueen to explore what human factors are, their importance in the health care setting and how knowledge of human factors can help both trainees and supervisors.

Further Human Factors Resources and Information can be found here.
