Human Factors in Healthcare Foundation Course
Healthcare Human Factors
Course description
Clinical environments are complex and high-risk. Technical skills alone aren’t enough to ensure patient safety. Our 1-day Foundation Course develops the cognitive and interpersonal skills needed to manage team-based clinical activities effectively.
This comprehensive course covers the fundamental elements of Human Factors, furnishing participants with key non-technical skills that complement their existing clinical competencies. By understanding how teamwork, tasks, equipment, workspace, culture, and organisation affect human behaviour in clinical settings, participants learn to take a proactive approach to avoiding, trapping, and mitigating errors.
Human error is inevitable. Our training emphasises that cooperative and collaborative teams are essential for achieving safety and high reliability in complex and hazardous work environments. The course equips participants with an understanding of the human causes of error, and the skills and knowledge needed to effectively manage day-to-day clinical operations.
The Human Factors in Healthcare Foundation Course is designed for all healthcare staff to enhance their organisation’s overall safety and efficiency. Training is delivered by experienced instructors and certified to the ISO9001 quality management standard.

Thanks for a truly inspiring course delivered by a superb faculty of experts in Human Factors. This was probably the most professionally run course I have attended in my 36 years in the health service. Although the course was hard work, I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel much better prepared to deliver Human Factors training within my trust.
