Human Factors: Designing for People

In this episode, we’re focusing on Human Factors. You’ll hear about:

 

• The important role that Human Factors plays in designing safer healthcare systems for everyone.
• How knowing about Human Factors can impact on the way we think and work and in turn, on our well-being and job-satisfaction.
• What is happening right now in the Irish health service in relation to Human Factors.
• And the lessons learned by our colleagues in NHS Scotland and their experience integrating Human factors into their health services.
