This course from MedLed is suitable for all healthcare professionals, both clinical and non-clinical, applicable to all departments and multi-disciplinary teams.

  • Be able to unpick the nature of human fallibility and why practice does not always make perfect.
  • Have the knowledge to proactively contribute to the safety culture in your organisation.
  • Be able to recognise error-provoking conditions and influence your systems of work.
  • Understand the relationship between stress and performance/risk of error.
  • Take away a tangible model for understanding the relationship between our physiological needs and performance – do we set ourselves up to fail?
  • Understand strategies to optimise high performance teamworking with ad hoc teams.
