Abstract
The interest in employing Human Factors (HF) in healthcare is increasing. The SCReaM HF and Team Resource Management (TRM) programme is aimed at raising the awareness, understanding and application of the science of HF within healthcare to help staff improve their safety and wellbeing and that of their patients. The programme is divided into three strands: rolling training, HF Projects and HF Engineering. The programme has been successfully embedded into an NHS Trust and provides a good model for how HF can be introduced and utilised within healthcare.
