Human Factors in Healthcare: Online Foundation Course
The essential 8-hour guide to non-technical skills for clinical staff.
Human error is inevitable, but patient harm is not. In the complex, high-pressure environment of modern healthcare, technical skills alone are not enough to guarantee safety.
The Global Air Training Online Human Factors Foundation Course equips you with the cognitive tools to identify system failures, improve teamwork, and "trap" errors before they reach the patient.
Join thousands of healthcare professionals worldwide who trust GAT—a market-leading, ISO9001-accredited specialist working with NHS Trusts since 2001—to deliver their safety training.
