Each course covers a number of core themes, with Applied Human Factors rolling throughout the entire course.
Safety II, Systems Thinking, Psychological Safety, Civility, Just Culture, and Models of Safety, are some of the recurring themes that are explored in more depth as the course progresses through to the Recurrent Training Day.
The focus of our courses is to encourage delegates to think about their work 'system' and help them design it to best fit their way of working to improve both theirs, and their patients, safety and well-being
Delegates must attend the Day 1 core training day first before attending Day 2 training.
We usually recommend 3-6 months between the two days to allow consolidation of learning and to allow delegates time to apply some of their learning (see pledges).
Once the two Core Training days have been completed, delegates can attend the Recurrent training every 1-2 years to top-up their knowledge and keep up-to-date with the latest HF developments.
