Wow, what a day. Well worth the early start for the Human Factors in Healthcare Conference. Inspirational speakers, meeting course mates and finally meeting one of my inspirational figures (@BrennanSurgeon). Thank you all at @HumanFactorsSN who organised it.

Outstanding Human Factors course featuring surgeons, military and aviation experts sharing insights on functional resilience, servant leadership, just culture, second victims, four-day week and integrating HF training into surgical curricula @HumanFactorsSN @BrennanSurgeon

@RWT_NHS Thanks @HumanFactorsSN for organising it!

[Lucine Nahabedian @lucnahabedian]

Really enjoyed attending this conference with a myriad of interesting speakers. Definitely has given me a lot of food for thought and hopefully will be able to share learning with @RWT_NHS

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

How do we look after others when we’re not looking after ourselves. Thank you @DrDaleford for talking about the 4 day working week. Maintained efficiency with better employee wellbeing. Can we do this in the NHS?

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

Following the theme of support after adverse events, @wrenbarbara leading the Schwartz Round. Fantastic audience engagement exploring the human impact of healthcare work. Wonderful insights gained from audience and panel input.

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

@UroDoco kicking off the afternoon session. Amazing work with the SUPPORT collaborative providing peer support for surgeons following adverse events.

[Elaine Hosie @Ballageigh]

@BrennanSurgeon @HumanFactorsSN Brilliant 😊

[Liz @elindsay001]

Undoubtedly one of the best conferences I’ve been to! Thank you @HumanFactorsSN!

[Peter Brennan @BrennanSurgeon]

Lunch & a chance to catch up with delegates and talk all things human factors & patient safety at our conference in Oxford

And finally met Charlotte in person!

Afternoon session here we come 😀

[Liz @elindsay001]

Such an interesting morning listening to @langley_sharp and his vast experience in military leadership alongside many other brilliant speakers! @HumanFactorsSN

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

What a day so far. With more to come! @Kevin_Fong delivering his superb talk. Assessing risk properly, understanding beyond the headlines, how far we’ve come in patient safety and why aviation and health care are not totally interchangeable.

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

Fascinating to hear @langley_sharp sharing extensive experiences in military leadership. A lot of food for thought in applying these experiences to health care and the operating theatre.

[Peter Brennan @BrennanSurgeon]

An absolutely brilliant start to our human factors conference in Oxford

Superb speakers, great subjects and so much to think about

Enjoying every second 🤪

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

A wonderful opening talk from @HelenEHigham. The need to change the culture from “Human Error causes failure” to identifying system vulnerabilities that allow them to happen.

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

@BrennanSurgeon setting the tone for the day with his welcome presentation. Themes of respect, culture, managing scenarios where deviance is normalised. More fantastic talks to come!

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

Excited to kick off Human Factors in Healthcare 2025!

[Human Factors in Surgery Network @HumanFactorsSN]

@DrSAfzal See you soon!

[Barbara Wren @wrenbarbara]

Looking forward to speaking at this wonderful conference in Oxford on Monday and creating a space to explore the impact of the content and contexts of healthcare work. #heathcare #humanfactors #psychology #surgery
