1. Making Tomorrow’s Doctors Safer Patient Safety – the human factor Martin Bromiley

5. Accidents were an unfortunate but accepted risk or complication of flying.

6. We know we’re not perfect...

7. But among the flying community it’s generally believed that ALL accidents are preventable

8. ....but why do we believe that?

11. Investigation (technical & non-technical/HF)

12. Safety and human factors embedded from the very first flight

13. Investigation (technical & non-technical/HF) Safety and human factors embedded from the very first flight Continued process of knowledge, examination and assessment of technical and non-technical skills (Pilots, Cabin Crew, Engineers, Air Traffic Controllers.....)

14. Investigation (technical & non-technical/HF) Safety and human factors embedded from the very first flight Continued process of knowledge, examination and assessment of technical and non-technical skills Reinforcement of the skills to balance safety and productivity

16. But it’s much more than just what the frontline are taught and what they do.....

18. It’s also about....... Leadership and personal example Rules that don’t encourage rule breaking Equipment reliability and design/ergonomics The whole team understanding of safety and human factors, relevant to their field

19. If we understand Human Factors…. We can develop techniques to optimise human and system performance using: Physical design of structures, tools, buildings etc System design of process and protocol Cognitive strategies for how we behave In other words, making it easy to do the right thing all the time, with reliability of outcome

20. So to understand the human in the system, future doctors need to understand…....fundamentally, that error is normal! How design and environmental factors influence performance How systems encourage or discourage doing the right thing The impact of our behaviour on others and vice versa – and how we really behave! Cognitive strategies for behaviour and thinking Past investigations and the cost of being unsafe The safety v productivity dilemma
