@Channel4News Safety science should have been imbedded from the start for a safety branch? Not a good look for an organisation that preaches “no blame” to try and blame previous staff and “historic failings”. The question remains, how does HSIB improve?

@Nikki_HF @pbnes @psmn999 As low as reasonably practicable… not possible. You have to work out what level of risk is acceptable and practical to achieve, what is reasonable… not what is possible cos that might be too cost prohibitive, for example. Some kind of safety management system would be a start

@DrGetafix @hypoxicchicken @NicholasChrimes Great thread! Colour should be redundant - it’s great for highlighting things, but it shouldn’t be the only thing that is different… colour and shape often used together in cockpit displays for example. On that, there’s LOADS of defence standards that would be a great start here

@DrLaurenMorgan and @StevenShorrock on the same bill? Awesome work @ClinicalHF. Excellent to see experienced human factors practitioners talking HF in healthcare… #ciehf #patientsafety #chfg
Excited that @DrLaurenMorgan will be joining us on 16th May to talk about building Human Factors into the fabric of our hospitals. Come and listen to Lauren

And, the instructions to get to the pharmacy… maybe signage or a map may be helpful..? #HFforNHS

Took my husband for an MRI scan this morning. Had to have forms filled in for him as he’s partially sighted. Now some parts of the NHS know he’s severely visually impaired… but this knowledge is not shared. And don’t get me started on the car park ticket machines… #humanfactors

@nialldowney @helenh49 @KenCatchpole @StevenShorrock @CIEHF Unfortunately this does not surprise me. I once spoke to someone at the DHSC about the packaging risk and they said, “Can’t we just get people to check better..?” I sighed and explained that they had actually tried that, so maybe it wasn’t the solution…

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.
In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 36.5% lower than men's. The pay gap is 2.7 percentage points wider than the previous year.

@MartinBromiley has done such great work highlighting the need for HF in healthcare, and continues to do so. I’ve read his story many times, but it’s something else hearing it from him…

@a_ottaway I’d like to think the NHS would develop a standard definition in line with @CIEHF info, but… as long as it’s not just CRM and nontechnical skills it’ll be a bonus!
