About this webinar
Please note that due to circumstances beyond our control, this webinar will have to be postponed until the New Year. The exact date is yet to be confirmed, as soon as it is we will add it to the page. Bookings can still be made for the new date, and don't worry, if you can't make it live you will get the recording so do still book.Human factors is a scientific discipline that accepts and understands that human performance is liable to fall in the high pressure situations that we may experience while working in operating theatres. Human factors strategies can help us as anaesthetists and theatre team members to optimise our performance under pressure, and help us and our teams to move back into a ‘zone of flow’ when pressure rises. Anaesthesia is a ‘team sport’, and the whole team needs to be aware of such strategies to enable them to be fully effective.
Please join us for a joint webinar discussing this topic, with representatives from the APA, Association of Anaesthetists, AfPP and College of ODPs.
Login will be available from 17:50, but the broadcast will not start until 18:00.
