Integration of Human Factors into healthcare systems is currently being considered and justified by regulatory and educational bodies including NHS Improvement, the Care Quality Commission, Health Education England, NHS LA, The GMC and the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The benefits of Human Factors for patient safety, staff morale and performance, ways of working and equipment and facilities design are well recognised, and the evidence of this contribution is the subject of ongoing work by the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors on behalf of Health Education England.

We are fortunate to have an excellent selection of HF qualified and experienced NHS staff discussing the CIEHF White Paper on Health and Social Care and a series of case studies showing application and benefits.
