Spotlight on our Maternity Human Factors Train-the-Trainer TTT Programme
Being Human in Healthcare Ltd has recently collaborated with a large organisation to train several cohorts of Maternity & Neonatal Human Factor champions.
Being Human in Healthcare’s TTT course is designed using educational and Human Factors (HF) theory, training the multiprofessional team to use systems-based HF concepts. The ready-to-go teaching ©toolkit enables those trained to incorporate these concepts directly into mandatory training, skills & drills, education, huddles, ward rounds & management meetings, embedding HF across the Maternity & Neonatal departments. Course content supports HF training recommendations from Ockenden and aligns with PSIRF.
Those trained reported a strong increase in confidence with teaching HF & SEIPS, as well as situational awareness, a concept often discussed but frequently misinterpreted within Maternity.
Reported benefits of attending the Human Factors TTT programme
Relevance of material, course design & teaching toolkit
Client feedback unanimously stated that the content delivered over the three days and ©toolkit was highly relevant to maternity & neonatal services:
“It is so relevant, but so rarely taught in such a relevant way”
“I’ve done train the trainer courses before where there has been more of a one-way teaching, I really, really enjoyed that you always focused on our group as trainers and how we deliver this content, that was new to us.”
“I already teach and these tools can improve the human factors sessions we deliver and provide in-depth knowledge to staff.”
Acquisition & consolidation of knowledge
Prior familiarity with HF & systems thinking was variable. Feedback suggested that the content was appropriate to all levels of prior knowledge. Participants working in patient safety roles highlighted how the course enhanced their understanding of HF theory.
“changed preconceived ideas of what I thought “situational awareness” meant, & challenged my own thinking”
“The anecdotes & examples brought the sessions to life & made the material relatable”
“Really enjoyed the greater depth explanation of SEIPS, systems etc. I have a much better understanding of some of the Performance Influencing Factors now.”
Embedding and alignment
Many participants fed back they would transfer their new skills & knowledge into many aspects of their practice, such as established mandatory training sessions, PROMPT healthcare training and skill & drills. Others mentioned using the teaching tools, including the SEIPS framework, within safety huddles & meetings.
“The tools were easy to follow, easy to pick up & can be used in different scenarios”
“Taking a systems approach makes much more sense in terms of making improvements.”
“Embed it in handovers, safety huddle & bite size training.”
Other reported benefits
- Increased social capital across the organisation
- Reassurance maternity services across the organisation face similar challenges
- Alignment of safety and Human Factors knowledge & application
- Sharing ideas & collaborating
