Human Factors in Sports Medicine – Unconsciously Unaware? Episode #390

Jonathan Hanson is a Sports Medicine consultant with a background in emergency medicine. He works as team doctor for the Glasgow Warriors rugby union team, has worked as an Emergency care advisor to the FA and worked on Head injury systems and immediate care with the Senior men at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Given his background, he has a particular interest in the human factors associated with working in SEM, especially in a pitch-side/pre-hospital setting. In this podcast, we discuss:  What is meant by the term ‘human factors’?  How do we develop these? Can they be developed at an individual level, or do they need to be embraced more broadly by a team/department as a whole?  Examples of how human factors have affected practice  Getting people to ‘buy-in’ to the importance of human factors?
