Thanks Clive.
Some years ago I met Prof James Reason socially and he indicated that human factors would become an issue in medicine. I wondered if his predictions would find fruition. It is pleasing to think that aviaiton, being a young profession, has learned something that might be of use to medicine.
Re the "CRM for Surgeons" course I shall try and find out more. Its a really interesting thought that the patient death rate could be reduced by sending medical staff on CRM type courses.
