Our Mission

Promoting Human Factors science

Through education and training in all healthcare settings and designing for safety

The Clinical Human Factors Group, a charity,  was set up by Martin Bromiley after his late wife died needlessly following a routine operation. Ten years on, the charity has influenced a generation of workers by promoting the application of Human Factors science in all areas of healthcare. However, the NHS continues to have 230 preventable deaths per week so there’s more to do.

Avoidable hospital deaths per week

Avoidable hospital deaths per year

How we make a difference

We work across organisations, departments and disciplines and our independence allows us to raise the awkward questions and challenge mainstream assumptions.

“Think of the charity as a campaign and activist group with the power of respected world class experts who are trusted for their independent, considered and thoughtful support and guidance. We have the ability to push where others can’t and it is vital that as we grow and develop we retain these vital capabilities.”

Why do skilled practitioners make errors?

Mind lock - a rigid fixation on a diagnosis/course of action

Confirmation bias - contradictory data (eg abnormal capnography) are ignored, while corroborative information (eg breath sounds) is favoured
