ANTS: 20 years of evidence and practice
Prof Rhona Flin, Aberdeen

Which behaviours contribute to a safer or riskier management of an anaesthetic? The ANTS system is a skills taxonomy and behavioural rating tool for Anaesthetists' Non-Technical Skills. It was developed by a team of anaesthetists and industrial psychologists based in Scotland and in common with similar systems designed for airline pilots, it attempts to capture the core behaviours for safer anaesthesia, organised into a framework of non-technical skills. These skills complement technical skills and are required for safer and more efficient performance. The ANTS system was released in 2003 and has been adopted for training and development of anaesthetists in a number of countries, as well as being used as a research tool. This presentation will examine how anaesthetic training and research developments in the last 20 years have incorporated the ANTS tool.

How to not put people to sleep
Mr Bob Keiller CBE, Business Advisor and Mr Derrick Thomson, Strategic Business Consultant and Mentor

In most people's jobs we spend a lot of time communicating and persuading others. If you’re a senior manager/influencer you are often trying to persuade people to adopt your proposals, get support, secure investment or hire staff. We will be sharing some techniques to help people become more persuasive communicators.

Being a really effective business storyteller and presenter is a teachable and learnable skill. It does not rely on wholly on charisma or being a natural extravert. With lots of practice, tons of feedback and some helpful coaching we believe that anyone can give themselves an unfair business advantage. Business relies on persuasion; business storytelling is at the heart of this.
