Patient Safety and Human Factors

Here at the Rotherham Simulation suite we are committed to the enhancement of patient safety and care by the integration of human factors and team training into all of our sessions. The term 'human factors' can be defined in several ways but a widely accepted definition is that of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE: UK industrial safety regulator): 


‘Human factors refer to environmental, organisational and job factors, and human and individual characteristics which influence behaviour at work in a way which can affect health and safety. A simple way to view human factors is to think about three aspects: the job, the individual and the organisation and how they impact on people’s health and safety-related behaviour.’

The human factors that we concentrate on are: situation awareness, teamwork, leadership, decision making, task management & allocation, and stress management.
