On Thursday 21st March at 21.00, the BBC will be broadcasting an Horizon programme on human factors in healthcare, called ‘How to avoid mistakes in surgery’. It looks at how learning about the human in the system and the system itself can bring about enormous improvements in safety and outcomes that technology and medical science can only aspire to. It’s written in a way that will appeal to both those in healthcare and the public. It uses a tragic death to highlight human factors that all of us are prone to, and looks at how we can learn from others both in and outside healthcare to make a real difference in the future.
