Emma Phillips –
At last, a book about Human Factors & Ergonomics (HF/E) in healthcare written by chartered professionals who are highly experienced in related research, education, and practice and have a particular focus on patient safety. This fantastic offering makes a huge contribution to outlining both foundational and more advanced HF/E principles, concepts and methods that healthcare leaders, practitioners, educators, scientists, risk, safety and improvement advisors and many others can readily apply. Importantly, this timely contribution lays all of this out in a very readable and accessible fashion, with the welcome bonus that it provides much-needed practical guidance on the purpose and approach of HF/E which is sometimes misunderstood in healthcare. This is a must-read for everyone with a strong interest in improving organisational performance and the wellbeing of people who work in, and use, healthcare services.
