Human factors refer to environmental, organisational and job factors, and human and individual characteristics, which influence behaviour and interactions at work in a way which can affect health and safety. An understanding of these issues is key to patient safety.

- Introduce the concept of HFE – what is it and what you already know?
- Discuss integration between Quality Improvement and HFE – how can different improvement methods be aligned to support change?
- Design solutions to everyday problems by taking a HFE approach – how can HFE be applied practically?
