CAREERS DAY 2023

Our jobs fair will feature, The university of Derby, who is a top 50 UK university and it is proud to be the UK's best modern university for multi-cultural learning and top 10 in the world for international student learning experience.

It’s international women’s day! I recommend following @PayGapApp which picks up tweets from companies talking about how important women are, then posting the pay gap in that organisation. Fascinating.

@KenZeroHarm @SuzysShoes @UK_CAA @NHSEngland How interesting, what Human Factors accreditation do the @Uk_CAA provide?

[Defence Human Factors @DFactors]

@SuzysShoes @StevenShorrock @StefcormackStef @KenCatchpole @KenZeroHarm @HISQIConnect @ihubscot @online_his @NHSEngland @channel5_tv The defence industry very much recognises the Environment in which the ‘User’ operates. It is therefore astonishing to read (all be it in synopsis) that ‘work environment’ is not a topic of discussion for training/awareness for those working in such a high stress environment

[Defence Human Factors @DFactors]

@hsib_org @Laurapickup1 Really interesting article, to clarify is it really the case that the NHS can procur key equipment for use … possibly in Theatre/ICU/CCU etc … without compliance with recognised national/international standards including UCD/HumanFactors standards?… if so this is astonishing!

[Defence Human Factors @DFactors]

…. the list goes on …

[Suzy Broadbent @SuzysShoes]

Designers: if your design decisions are justified by the notion that the user will “just” remember something, then please think again, considering context of use. Might be more difficult in times of high workload, stress, if you’re being shot at, have someone bleeding out etc.

[Defence Human Factors @DFactors]

… we still have some way to go!

[Suzy Broadbent @SuzysShoes]

A friend just messaged to check if she was overreacting by being upset a male colleague referred to her as “a cougar” in the office. Happy international women in engineering Day everyone! #INWED2022 #inwed

@rayallsop1983 @DeborahMeaden Get ur head out ur ar&e!

[Defence Human Factors @DFactors]

What’s in a name … quite a lot it seems … what do you call yourself? …

[Suzy Broadbent @SuzysShoes]

FYI healthcare - Human Factors is NOT a synonym for non-technical skills. Human factors is a discipline looking at people, environment and technology and how they interact. This may include nontechnical skills, but to use the terms as equivalents is incorrect.
