Loughborough University and the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors have been working on a Human Factors Healthcare Learning Pathway since the launch of the CIEHF White Paper in 2018 and it’s finally arrived. The Learning Pathway is aligned to the National Patient Safety Syllabus and focusses on Human Factors. Human Factors is a broad, scientific, evidence-based discipline that can help people solve a wide range of problems that they face in what they do, every day. In understanding, for example, why patients struggle to use personal medical devices, the application of Human Factors in the design, implementation and evaluation of the devices or in the equipment we use, and the way people work, individually and together, will lead to more resilient, more productive, more connected and more sustainable systems and ways of working (see HEE and CIEHF report 'Human Factors and Healthcare'). Professor Sue Hignett, one of the developers of the course, explains more. -
Content ArticleCompassion can be defined as ‘a sensitivity to suffering in self and others with a commitment to try to alleviate and prevent it’ (Gilbert 2013). We can experience compassion in different ways: we can feel compassion for other people; we can experience compassion from others; and there is also the compassion we can direct towards ourselves. Compassionate leadership involves a focus on relationships through careful listening to, understanding, empathising with and supporting other people, enabling those we lead to feel valued, respected and cared for, so they can reach their potential and do their best work. There is clear evidence that compassionate leadership results in more engaged and motivated staff with high levels of wellbeing, which in turn results in high-quality care. In this King's Fund explainer, Suzie Bailey and Michael West describe four behaviours of compassionate leadership and why compassionate leadership matters.

What is a whistleblower?
Hugh Wilkins posted an article in Whistle blowing
hub topic lead, Hugh Wilkins, explores attitudes towards and repercussions of whistleblowing, with emphasis on healthcare professionals who suffer retaliation after raising patient safety concerns. He draws attention to damaging discrepancies between written policy and actual procedure. Hugh urges all healthcare leaders to welcome the concerns that 'whistleblowers' raise in the public interest and respond positively to them, which would lead to substantial improvements in staff engagement, organisational culture, quality of care and patient safety. *Whilst much of the information in this article is referenced and in the public domain it is not legal advice.- Posted

Content ArticleMore must be done to avoid harm to patients while waiting for treatment. The backlog for planned care is one of the biggest challenges for the NHS in Wales. Waiting times targets have not been met for many years. This backlog has been made much worse due to the pandemic. In February 2022, there were nearly 700,000 patients waiting for planned care, a 50% increase since February 2020. Over half of the people currently waiting have yet to receive their first outpatient appointment which means that they may not know what they’re suffering from and their care cannot be effectively prioritised. Modelling shows it could take up to seven years or more to return waiting lists to pre-pandemic levels. This report makes five recommendations based on what the Welsh Government needs to do as it implements its national plan.
