Safer Clinical Practice

Human factors trianing that will help you reduce the risk of errors by improving the way team members work together

Safer Clinical Practice is a full-day workshop, divided into two modules, that aims to improve the way members of dental teams work together.  The objective is to gain an understanding of the importance of human factors in reducing your risk and improving patient safety.

• Module One - We are only human
  Covers why being human can contribute to errors in practice.
• Module Two - Team-working towards safer practice
  Concentrates on reducing the risk of errors in practice by improving the way dental teams work together.

Through this programme you will:

• be aware of various human factors that can influence performance, providing some skills and techniques to help manage their impact
• have an improved understanding of team-work and leadership and their valuable contributions towards patient safety
• be aware of human limitations.
