Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Training
Patient Safety

Background:

Non-technical skill deficits are linked to surgical adverse events.
Human-factors training is crucial for patient safety and error reduction.
UK surgical colleges promote non-technical skills training for various surgical staff.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the impact of a 1-day human-factors training course on junior surgical trainees.
To evaluate changes in self-assessed confidence in non-technical skills post-training.

Main Methods:

Analysis of post-course feedback from junior surgical trainees.
Data collected from trainees attending the course in 2012/13.
Assessment of self-assessed confidence in four categories of non-technical skills.

Main Results:

91% of trainees reported the course would change their practice.
A statistically significant increase in self-assessed confidence in non-technical skills was observed (p ≤ 0.001).
Confidence improved across all four assessed categories of non-technical skills.

Conclusions:

The Severn Deanery's compulsory human-factors course is vital for early-career surgeons.
Human-factors training is essential for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety.
This training is highly recommended for junior surgical trainee programs, especially with simulation-based training.
