Dr Steven Shorrock - Understanding and improving the reality of human work
Learning from everyday work should be the aim of all efforts to improve organisational functioning and performance. The reality of 'work-as-done’ (how things really get done) by everyone, in front-line, support, and management roles, influences all aspects of organisational functioning. This session will explore and demystify some key themes and myths:
The realities of work at all levels.
Understanding work-as-done and its proxies.
Improving how we work.
Dr Lauren Morgan - Building Human Factors into the fabric of our hospitals
The design of healthcare environments can significantly influence clinical outcomes, efficiency, staff wellbeing and retention. Healthcare providers and employers who take steps to understand the reality of working practice (work-as-done) soon see the practical benefits to inclusive design. In this session Lauren shares some of the human factors approaches she uses in including staff and patients in designing hospitals and clinical areas.
