Trainetics, which delivers human factors and leadership training and consultancy, is launching a fully-immersive course for veterinary professionals in January 2023.
This human factors training will use Trainetics’ unique partnership with the British Airways Global Learning Academy at Heathrow Airport, which sees delegates take control of an Airbus or Boeing commercial jet. (Courtesy of state-of-the-art flight and cabin simulators situated airside at Heathrow.)
The bespoke training experience is part of the human factors science involved in veterinary leadership, which Trainetics’ Tom Cardy, an EBVS and RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Neurology, believes is going to play an increasing role in the industry’s development.
Tom said: “The potential impact of human factors on the veterinary industry is huge.
“Human factors is the science that uses many disciplines, such as anatomy, physiology, physics and biomechanics, to understand the interactions between humans and other elements of a system in order to optimise human well-being and overall system performance.
“In the veterinary profession, human factors is still relatively new; however, its true scope within the industry lies in understanding and applying systems-thinking methodology to our complex, adaptive profession.”
Working alongside Tom and other well-known veterinary figures such as Bradley Viner, Andrew Fiske-Jackson and Vicky Lipscombe, is Professor Holger Volk, an EBVS and RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Neurology.
Trainetics veterinary courses are based within the British Airways Global Learning Academy at Heathrow and include flight simulation, individual development, workshops and seminars such as situational awareness, decision-making, workload management and optimising personal well-being.
