Human Factors Analysis and Classification System
Nicholas Woodier
The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (Shappell and Wiegmann, 2000) is a taxonomical framework that helps incident investigators identify both active and latent factors that contribute to the occurrence of untoward events. It aims to provide a robust, comprehensive and consistent approach to incident analysis, so that organisations can truly learn to improve. Originally developed in the field of aviation, the HFACS framework presented has been modified (including validation and reliability assessment) for use in acute-hospital Trusts in the UK by the author in collaboration with Dr Suzanne Shale. The presentation will look to share the framework, how to use it, and how recommendations for improvement can be extracted.

The Patients Pathway

Jono believes that if you used these simple steps to determine planning for improvements in service then you will always deliver great care in a patient centred way. Talk is 20 to 30 mins plus questions.

Empowerment of citizens/patients: a personal story of engagement & enhanced health & wellbeing
Trevor Fossey
It seems an anomaly that people have online access 24/7 to their financial health, but that there are still restrictions what they can access regarding their physical health. Citizens are ‘stakeholders’ in their own health, and should be empowered so that they become engaged. My talk, from my experience as a patient, promotes the empowerment of all patients/citizens and the health/wellbeing benefits that can follow.
