Abstract

Human Factors are described as ‘enhancing clinical performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, tasks, equipment, workspace, culture and organisation on human behaviour and abilities and application of that knowledge in clinical settings’ [1] and also as ‘the cognitive, social, and personal resource skills that complement technical skills, and contribute to safe and efficient task performance’ [2]. Healthcare has taken the lead from the aviation industry where it was estimated that approximately 70% of errors investigated were attributable to failed communication, poor decision- making and ineffective leadership [3].
