An understanding of human factors, error mitigation and performance is essential to both ensuring patient safety and excellent outcomes in prehospital medicine. The term 'crew resource management' is used as a synonym for 'human factors' in the aviation, nuclear, maritime and other organisations where optimal performance is seen as essential. In prehospital and emergency care, the performance of teams, especially those that are rapidly formed, is commonplace. Working with experts from elite sport, aviation and other related industries, the module will embrace best practice in team performance. In parallel with the performance of individual teams, it is recognised that high performance in clinical teams is supported by quality performance systems, good governance, ergonomics and team structures, all crucial to delivering optimal care to patients. Apposite education and leadership concepts are embedded within the teaching and learning discussions and practices in this module.
