ST3.2: Human Factors - Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (ST5B) - Bristol Simulation Centre
Background:
Effective team work improves patient safety and outcomes. Human factors and non technical skills underpin the performance of the operating team during cardiothoracic surgery. High fidelity simulation enables members of the operating team to understand the effects of human factors on team working. By practice, observation and feedback it is possible to improve team working and patient outcome.
Aims:
The aims of this two day course are to:
- Identify why errors occur in the operating room and how they can be reduced
- Understand what human factors are and the impact they have on patient outcome
- Practice and develop techniques for good communication and decision making
- Understand the impact situational awareness has on decision making
- Develop leadership & followership skills
- Provide a framework for assessment and feedback for non technical skills
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the course attendees will:
- Understand why errors occur amongst the operating team and how to minimise them
- Recognise role of human factors in improving team working
- Understand what is required to be an effective team member and leader
- Be familiar with a system for assessment and feedback of human factors
This is the second of a series of Human Factors courses scheduled to run over the year. Places will be offered on a first come, first serve basis to National Trainee Numbered (NTN) trainees at ST4 level from September and senior trainees who are members of the SCTS.

Trainee feedback:
'Great interaction between faculty and the delegates. Useful scenarios to run through.'
'Cardiac bypass scenarios were excellent. Felt realistic stress and pressure, learnt a lot about human factors. Team were thorough in their teaching.'
'Great speakers; very high-fidelity cardiac simulator and well thought and executed scenarios. Excellent debriefing sessions with a lot of focus on constructive feedback'
'Excelent supervision, great trainer to trainee ratio.'
