Healthcare Human Factors Training
Proven strategies to enhance patient safety.
Since 1996, Global Air Training (GAT) has been the pre-eminent provider of Human Factors (HF) education.
Having trained astronauts for the European Space Agency, and worked with major airlines globally, we pioneered the transfer of these critical safety skills into healthcare.
Today, we are the trusted partner of over 100 NHS Trusts and safety-critical healthcare organisations worldwide. We translate the proven concepts Crew Resource Management (CRM) into practical, clinical applications that save lives.
Aligning with NHS Standards (PSIRF & SEIPS)
Modern patient safety is about more than individual performance; it is about systems. Our training is specifically designed to support the NHS England Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) and the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) model. We help organisations shift the focus from a culture of blame to systems thinking and proactive safety improvement.
Clinical Application
We don't just teach theory; we translate aviation's proven CRM models into the healthcare context, focusing on the specific challenges of clinical environments.
Interprofessional Focus
Our training brings together nurses, midwives, AHPs, doctors, and support staff. We mirror the reality of healthcare—diverse teams working under pressure—to improve communication and break down silos.
ISO9001 Accredited
We are an ISO9001 accredited training provider, ensuring exacting standards in quality management and delivery.
Our Training Methodology
Our approach emphasizes non-technical skills (NTS)—the cognitive and social skills that complement technical medical expertise.
Simulation & Validated Tools
We utilise industry-recognized frameworks, such as the Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) matrix, to provide objective, actionable feedback.
Expert Faculty
Our team comprises certified Human Factors experts with deep experience in healthcare applications, specialist facilitators, and debriefing experts.
Culture Change
We help you embed HF safety behaviours that integrate system-wide, enhancing your organisation's safety culture and internal capabilities.
