Job description
Job responsibilities
The aim of this fellowship is to enable the fellow to
undertake an active part in the SCReaM Human Factor and Team Resource
Management (TRM) programme and undertake a patient safety, quality improvement
or research project whilst developing a sound understanding of human factors
and ergonomics, patient safety, clinical risk management, quality improvement,
and change management. In particular,
the successful candidate will take a lead role in the delivery and further development
of the SCReaM programme. Conceived and
launched across two large acute NHS Trusts in 2016, SCReaM is an innovative
initiative to improve team performance and staff and patient wellbeing and
safety, through CRM training of substantive theatre teams, supported by Crew
Resource Management (CRM) instructors from the aviation industry and other high
performance industries. Central to this
has been the introduction of a new cognitive aid, the SCReaM emergency prompt
cards, for use during adverse events in theatres. This is the first designed aid for this
purpose and been in use for several years.
The AAGBIs recent launch of the Quick Reference Handbook, analogous to
the SCReaM prompt cards, has led to increasing interest in this area globally. We are already near completion of one research
study in this area, in collaboration with the University of Surrey, with
several further research projects and QI projects in development. The initiative is being increasingly expanded
to other parts of the Trust and externally.
