Safety and Human Factors in Anaesthesia
Safety and Human Factors in Anaesthesia
This page is included owing to the slew of recent publications on this topic, making it prime Final FRCA fodder.
If one needs a curriculum item to pin this page to, then the requirement for an 'awareness of human factors concepts and terminology and the importance of non-technical skills in achieving consistently high performance' just about covers it.
I haven't re-hashed the below-linked articles into my own notes, but they are well worth a read, especially in conjunction with the page on never events.
