Human Factors has been identified in the 2018 CQC Opening the Door to Change document as well as the RCOG Each Baby Counts ​programme as being key to us delivering safe and compassionate care.  Of the 468 Never Events recorded in England in 2017-2018, only 4% were amenable to "quick fixes" and technical solutions.  96% were complex, multi-factorial, "wicked" problems that require an overhaul of our systems and culture in healthcare, with Human Factors at the core. 

 

The LMS has supported this ICHP initiative and aim for all staff in Northwest London to have attended formal Human Factors training over the next two years.  This is the first step we can make to show we are committed to reflecting on and improving our safety culture.  ​

 

The 1 day FREE course is interactive, discussion-based, and really relies on gathering the experience, expertise, and combined contributions from attendees to share and learn together.  

 

Dates and venues -  Attendees and Faculty will be multi-professional, multi-disciplinary, and from any of the 6 Northwest London maternity sites.  You can attend any day, not just the days hosted by your own site.
