The third chapter of a new ebook on human factors in health and social care is now available to download for free from our website. The guidance document explores how to design tasks for human performance, including how to spot vulnerabilities and deliver improved outcomes and wellbeing.

It’s the latest chapter of Making human factors and ergonomics work in health and social care, a book that complements the CIEHF’s Healthcare Learning Pathway. Previous sections focused on organisational and safety culture, and understanding human factors and the systems approach.

All three chapters provide practical guidance for people leading and implementing human factors programmes and interventions in health and social care. The advice has been written by a team of expert authors who are keen to hear feedback from readers on the chapters which have been published so far.
