Looking to improve patient safety? Our healthcare workshops offer an interactive approach to addressing and introducing Human Factors to medical personnel.
“Medication harm is an urgent global public health concern, accounting for 50% of all preventable harm in healthcare. It also presents a huge global financial burden contributing to 9% of total avoidable costs due to suboptimal medicine use, or the equivalent of US$ 42 billion of global total health expenditure.”
– World Health Organisation (WHO)
These medication errors occur when human factors such as fatigue, poor environmental conditions or staff shortages affect prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, administration, and monitoring practices, resulting in severe harm, disability and even death.
In Denmark alone, around 3000 people die yearly due to unintended human error. Our workshops for healthcare personnel addresses these human factors and assist medical staff in identifying strategies that ensures enhanced patient safety.

Our experienced Human Factors trainers will work closely with you to design and customise the healthcare workshop according to your needs, including any particular topics or problem areas you may have already identified.
Since we are a smaller number of people at our workshops, we include a series of experiential learning exercises. This means that when you join one of our workshops, you will experience the benefits and pitfalls on your own body and mind, creating a much more effective form of learning.
The overall goal is to create reflections and reinforce the awareness of how individual limitations and system vulnerabilities may compromise patient outcomes and even contribute to occupational injuries.
