Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) for Safety Learning Reviews (SLRs)

A new PSD Scotland learning series will soon be available here.

A flexible learning series to support health and care staff who wish to lead and participate in Safety Learning Reviews of Safety Events (e.g. incidents, events or complaints) where harm has occurred or could have occurred, whether physical or psychological, or where the safety and wellbeing of people have been compromised.

Why not select the star above to add this page to your favourite, so that you can access these resources when they are made available.

What does this programme include?

Built from existing PSD Scotland resources and structured into five accessible modules, the course introduces key concepts, practical tools and good‑practice guidance to support safe, person‑centred learning after safety occurrences.

Each module is presented as a Completable Workbook and you will be asked to download and save your own copy of this Workbook to your own files. This will allow you to study the module at your own pace and add your own learning reflections as your work through the materials.

There are five workbooks titled:

Module 1: Engaging and supporting all people impacted by Safety Occurrences

Module 2: Foundations of Human Factors

Module 3: Systems Thinking

Module 4: Complexity in Healthcare

Module 5: Resources and tools to guide good practice

Learning Activities & Assessment

Rather than formally assessing competence, this programme encourages learners to reflect on their own learning journey. A Certificate of Completion acknowledges engagement with approximately 6 hours of self-directed CPD learning.

Learners will be invited to self-rate their confidence and understanding before and after completing the programme, helping them recognise areas of growth and identify opportunities for applying learning in practice.

These reflections are intended to support personal and professional development rather than provide evidence of competence.

Therefore there is no formal assessment for this Learning Series but we do require participants to complete a pre and post evaluation survey, which will release the Certificate of Completion.
