Human Factors in Healthcare Trainers Course
Build Internal Capability. Become a Qualified Facilitator.
Human Factors in Healthcare Trainers Course
A comprehensive 5-day programme designed to equip healthcare professionals with the expertise to deliver world-class Human Factors training.
To embed a culture of safety within an NHS Trust or healthcare organisation, you need more than just policies—you need inspiring educators. Global Air Training's Human Factors Trainers programme is recognised worldwide as the industry standard for developing these educators.
Drawing on 30 years of experience, this intensive course provides the knowledge, skills, and materials required to deliver effective, practical Human Factors training tailored to your specific clinical environment.
Why Train as a Facilitator?
Teaching Human Factors requires a different skillset than clinical instruction. It involves managing complex discussions about error, behaviour, and culture.
- Master Facilitation Skills: We place emphasis on the development of facilitation techniques—essential for engaging multi-disciplinary teams and managing sensitive debriefs.
- A Complete Toolkit: Graduates leave with a full suite of training materials, real-world case studies, and practical examples, ready to deliver training immediately upon return to their organisation.
- Proactive Error Management: Go beyond theory. Learn how to teach the "Avoid, Trap, and Mitigate" error management model, giving your colleagues practical tools to stop errors at the source.
The GAT Philosophy: Teams as a Defense
"Human error is inevitable."
Our training is built on the reality that we cannot eliminate human fallibility. Instead, we recognise that cooperative and collaborative teams are the strongest asset for achieving safety in hazardous environments.
Our goal is to equip you with the deep understanding of the human and organisational causes of error, so you can teach your teams how to effectively manage high-risk activities through better communication, leadership, and situational awareness.
