Aims

Decision Making

  • Identify factors that influence decision-making in the clinical setting.

  • Describe the key components of good teamworking and apply this to clinical practice.
  • Demonstrate effective teamworking by working within a group to plan, develop and perform a short presentation.

Situational Awareness

  • Discuss the importance of situational awareness using clinical cases to illustrate potential pitfalls

Communication

  • Recognise communication ‘tools’ that can be used to improve communication in the clinical setting.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of effective communication in small group tasks and discussion.
Objectives

At the end of the training day F2s will be expected to produce a ‘Human Factors Card’. This will consist of 4 bullet points, titled: Decision Making, Teamworking, Situational Awareness and Communication. Under each bullet point they will complete one action that they will take back to their clinical practice. This will serve as formative assessment of the learning.
