Improving safety and reducing error in endoscopy: simulation training in human factors

What does simulation training in healthcare have to do with aviation? And how can simulation training in so-called 'human factors' lead to better patient outcomes in endoscopy? Some of the questions covered in this conversation of Trainee Associate Editor of Frontline Gastroenterology Johnathan Segal with Dr Srivathsan Ravindran and Dr Siwan Thomas-Gibson, both from the Wolfson Unit for Endoscopy, St Mark’s Hospital, London. They also discuss a variety of simulation modalities including in-situ simulation and how this fits into the UK-based ISREE strategy. This Frontline Gastroenterology podcast relates to the review “Improving safety and reducing error in endoscopy: simulation training in human factors”, included in the April 2019’s issue of the journal and is accessible here: fg.bmj.com/content/10/2/160
