Introduction to Human Factors for Veterinary Graduates
Eye-opening training covering key non-technical skills and Human Factors principles for veterinary
Overview:
This one-day workshop is designed for recent veterinary graduates. We will introduce the field of Human Factors and how it relates to everyday veterinary practice. We use stories and case discussions from clinical scenarios and other sectors such as commercial aviation to help define this area of work, and demonstrate its significance for optimising patient care.
Delegates will learn key non-technical skills including decision making under pressure, situational awareness and aspects of communication such as appropriately assertive communication and raising patient concerns.
This is an interactive session with a mixture of storytelling, breakout discussions and sharing of evidence and relevant research. The main objective is to provide the underlying knowledge and skills that will be practised at our immersive graduate simulations workshop that we highly recommend as a follow-up to this course.

We can deliver this training as part of a graduate programme or as an offering for recently graduated vets within a team.

“We worked with VetLed for an intensive, and brilliant, year. They created a bespoke programme for our practice after chatting through where we were and where we wanted to be. To say it was helpful is a massive understatement! They know what they are talking about and the observation days they conducted gave us massive insight into areas we had not seen we could improve on. I can't recommend their help and support enough!”

“I sometimes find content on topics like this can be delivered in a wishy-washy way... therefore I really enjoyed the practical examples of vet application and examples of research. Engaging and energetic, thank you!”

‘The practical day was so helpful. Cat and Sara created an extremely safe environment and were so kind, patient and understanding. Everyone in my group commented on how they felt they could be completely open and share mistakes, silly questions etc.’
