What are human factors, non-technical skills and professionalism? Human factors, non-technical skills and professionalism are concepts whose importance in clinical practice is increasingly being recognised and appreciated. So far more attention has been paid to these concepts in the field of human medicine but some discussion is now occurring in veterinary medicine too. In this podcast which features Liz Chan we discuss these concepts explaining what they mean and why they are relevant to clinical practice and/or patient safety. Liz is a specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia and currently works at the RVC as a Lecturer in Veterinary Education. Find out more about CPD from the RVC featuring Liz here. If you have any comments or suggestions, please get in touch (email [email protected]; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #saclinpod; or use the RVC's Facebook page).
