Ergonomics in Healthcare

System Concepts is hosting a business breakfast to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Ergonomics Society.

We would be delighted if you would join us:

• On Wednesday 11th February
• Between 8.30 and 11.30
• At our offices in the Strand.

As medical procedures, drugs and equipment have become more sophisticated the risks associated with human error have increased, so that today improving patient safety by reducing error is a priority for health services worldwide.  Ergonomics, with its knowledge of human abilities and limitations has a key role to play in the design of safe medical systems and equipment. 

Our business breakfast features three speakers at the forefront of healthcare design:

• Andrew Kirby, Microsoft Healthcare Solutions Director
• Stephen Corbett, Head of UI Design, NHS Connecting for Health speaking on "Usability in Information Technology in the NHS"
• Eric Mills, Product Development Manager LiDCO speaking on "Improving Patient Outcomes – The Task at Hand".

The presentations will be followed by a question and answer session chaired by System Concepts MD Tom Stewart, with plenty of opportunity for informal discussions and networking.

Places are limited, so if you would like to join us, please contact Ali Everett on 020 7240 3388 or email ali@system-concepts.com to reserve your place.  We look forward to seeing you there.
