Human Factors Training – Silver

The Improvement Academy offers a one-day face-to-face Silver-level training course in Human Factors, designed to build on the knowledge acquired in the Bronze entry level e-learning. The aim of the day is to equip trainees with the basic knowledge and skills to begin to use Human Factors at work to improve patient safety.

The content of the day centres on understanding organisational culture, understanding human error, exploring non-technical skills and how these skills can be enhanced. All trainees on the Silver Human Factors course will receive a certificate of attendance.
