No, itβs not a Critical Factors meeting. Some of our team in our main roles fetching another huge load of PPE to support healthcare professionals keep safe.
Other industries recognise the value in training their teams to #communicate effectively, recognising the importance of getting the message through and checking for an appropriate response.

Poor communication is a significant cause of medical error
In 2022-3 it was commonest cause of never events such as wrong site surgery, implants or protheses, and retained instruments/swabs
Our latest case of the month highlights poor communication

So important to include all the team in a culture of #patientsafety . Everyone has a role to play and a contribution to make. So important we value the contributions & heed the concerns of all the team.

In aviation we take it for granted that events can be unraveled to understand what happened and why, with comprehensive investigation and learning outcomes.
Behavioural #humanfactors typically feature heavily,both as contributors & safety barriers.

Last week saw us deliver on an innovative educational solution to embed #humanfactors in foundation training for #dentistry. Huge thanks to all collaborators working towards #patientsafety and #teamwork in dentistry and dental education.
Amused to be asked if we were no longer in practice as we hadn't posted for a while. In fact we've been too busy with #humanfactors projects in #dentistry#maternitysafety and #meded to get round to it.
Huge thanks to those involved.
Tragic case.
Often there's no single root cause with holes in many layers that should provide safety barriers.
How many of us resort to improvisation/workarounds to get the job done?
Whenever something is unusual, it's worth pausing to check with fresh eyes..

Thank you for the invitation to speak @NottmMaternity β¦an honour to be invited. An amazing event, so well organised !
Itβs a huge privilege to play our part in your #culturechange journey showcasing how behavioural #humanfactors is such a key component.
This. Donβt come to me with an βimprovementβ for safety or otherwise if it doesnβt also REDUCE workload and/or task complexity for those providing patient care.
βOverall, it would take an infeasible 26.7 h per day for a PCP to provide guideline-based care for a 2500 patient panel in 2020. These findings explain why improvements in the quality of primary care have eluded the USA for the last two decades.β Work as imagined vs work as done
How we breathe can have a huge impact on our human performance. Many of us donβt think about it or find it hard to believe.
But itβs easy to adopt without others even noticing.
Some interesting examples and techniques here from a surgeon.

Another multidisciplinary group of #healthcareprofessionals completed our Advanced #HumanFactors course this week, completing 4 days in total of intensive, immersive training. Well done to all involved π
Great to hear delegates share how learning from the Core has opened their eyes to what they see in their working environments.
Thank you to all involved, itβs a privilege to be involved.

Iβve never observed anyone, regardless of field, achieve lasting prominence while voicing rancor or focusing much on the failings of others. Create and share, support others and enjoy. Givers and creators always prevail.

Fascinating insight into some of the #humanfactors#decisionmaking process for this remarkable rescue.
Illustrates how important #teamwork in high performing teams is.
The Thai Cave Rescue might be one of the most impressive examples of high stakes decision making & human performance in recent memory.
The exact details of what happened are truly amazing and warrant a deeper dive.
What can we learn from this unbelievable success story? π§΅
