Meet the faculty! Thank you to @atrainability for facilitating our faculty training days for @HHFTnhs HF training @CultureHHFT @qi_HHFT @ajthrower @chwakefield @DrSarahNoble @lizmac192 @markeee_mark @khaja_sameena @Clairepaddler @LaraAlloway @AlexAswhitfield @ErskineSteve

Today, for World Mental Health Day, we are publishing a blog post by @doc_bipolar and @anna_annabav which outlines the 5 fundamentals for health workers' wellbeing at work. With high levels of burnout and many staff leaving the profession, these priorities are essential to

I've co-authored a book review, out in @BMJLeader! The time around surgery is a "teachable moment". When 'prevention' works best. Reduce complications, regret, unwarranted operations, avoidable intensive care... We wrote review in a personal capacity - not by @CPOC_News. See link

Excellent presentations from @gastrophd @ajthrower and others, and great opportunity to chat with colleagues passionate about improving safety @hhft

What does the evidence tells us about the role of human factors and ergonomics in healthcare, and why the approaches haven’t been more widely adopted? Watch @humanintheloop @KenCatchpole @SusannaStanford and @MarkSujan discuss: https://t.co/UsVcV3sgNB

I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches

Excellent short series on communication, relevant to all aspects of work and life

Excellent editorial highlighting again the fundamental importance of staff well being for patient safety

Looking at what goes well and how to make ‘nothing happen’ in a paediatric intensive care unit. Article from the March 2024 issue of The Ergonomist. @CIEHF @HorsleyCarl @picudoc13 @Kevin_Fong @StevenShorrock @JonathanCohenMD @PICU_Scot

Thank you @KirstenBoyle16 for such powerful writing - 'patient safety strategies are ineffective if people won’t admit that they are human and make mistakes'.

Addressing unprofessional behaviours between healthcare staff, fantastic read: ‘Is this activity likely to foster a psychologically safe culture and improve staff wellbeing?’ and ‘How is this going to have a positive impact on patient safety?’ https://t.co/qH1oPxRilD

"Instead of making decisions around how you make profit, just focus on colleagues being really happy." Timpson boss @JamesTCobbler talks to @krishgm about "upside-down management” and why giving employees more control can make a business more money. https://t.co/PmXherpGVm

Have your say ! An opportunity to give your thoughts on the Never Events framework @ClinicalHF # humanfactorsergonomics

Good video podcast on Human Factors Engineering woth NATS’ Nuno Cebola and @CIEHF Barry Kirby NATS Altitude - Episode 29 - The Human Factor https://t.co/vQt7P9HB9V Good emphasis on design and not just ‘behaviour’

Thank you Suzette for this link to so much wisdom, insight and practical advice for all striving to improve safety in healthcare.

🔓Humanity has too few years – six – to avert a climate endgame without radically reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In their #FreeForever editorial, White and Montgomery call for radical climate interventions to secure humanity's ‘liveable future’. 🔗 https://t.co/RhWeucbDKx

Do watch this and a great talk on #humanfactorsergonomics which both recognise the importance of staff #retention, #wellbeing in patient care . I sounded negative in a recent post . I have some hope that the #nhs is realising their importance after seeing this .

Excellent feedback today from last iHuPs course before Xmas 🎄 Since Feb 2022: 📣18 courses 📈230 staff @HHFTnhs trained 🧠27 in the faculty Great teamwork - look forward to taking it further in 2024

Thoroughly recommended, such an inspiring day

A @NHSBartsHealth initiative to improve elective surgery start times did not focus directly on increasing punctuality and efficiency. Instead, it got results by giving staff what they needed to flourish. https://t.co/NUi3RHEMzK #JoyInWork

Just over 2 years ago, Martha Mills died in hospital of sepsis. Her tragic death was avoidable and is leading to the introduction of Martha’s law - a right for families to get second opinions. She died because of a hospital culture – where questioning and challenge were not
