Would You Speak up if the Consultant Got It Wrong? ... and Would You Listen if Someone Said You'd Got It Wrong?(In THEIR Opinion) (Viewpoint Essay) (Report‪)‬

I apologise in advance if my article oversimplifies the complexity of both clinical decision making and human factors. I cannot claim any clinical knowledge, and my understanding of human factors is as a practitioner, not an expert. Whilst I still fly part-time, the balance of my time is spent working (in a voluntary capacity) with some very special clinicians, academics and policy makers. These people make up the supporters and 'Standing Group' of the Clinical Human Factors Group who are working to promote better understanding of human factors and good non-technical skills.
