Key Note Lecture
In Safe Hands: The Importance of Non-Technical Skills
Rhona Flin, Professor of Industrial Psychology, Aberdeen Business School, RGU
Many safety-critical tasks are characterised by teams of workers dealing with significant risks, time pressure and increasingly complex technology. In these domains, practitioners need both technical and non-technical skills. The term non-technical skills come from European aviation and they can be defined as ‘the cognitive, social and personal resource skills that complement technical skills, and contribute to safe and efficient task performance'. They are not new or mysterious skills but are essentially what the best practitioners do in order to achieve consistently high performance: the skills include situation awareness, decision making, teamwork and leadership.
There are now methods for training and rating the non-technical skills of surgeons (NOTSS) and anaesthetists (ANTS), with applications being developed for other specialities, such as histopathologists and radiologists. In this presentation, I will briefly outline the non-technical skills approach and will explain how this could be applied for biomedical scientists.
