Programme

Chartered Instituteof Ergonomics& Human Factors

WelcomeOn behalf of the Events Committee, welcome to Ergonomics & Human

Factors 2015 at the DeVere Staverton Park Hotel in Daventry. This is the

annual conference of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human

Factors and is a major international event for ergonomists and human

factors professionals from around the world.

As ever, the diversity of topics this year demonstrates a broad range

of target domains including safety, stress, design, HCI and human

performance. The conference includes symposia on the topics of

healthcare, transport, occupational ergonomics, manufacturing, and

health & wellbeing.

Collectively, the presentations cover a range of key ergonomics criteria

including safety, health, wellbeing, comfort, productivity, effi ciency,

and sustainability, demonstrating the continued wide applicability of

ergonomics and human factors.

The conference is becoming increasingly interactive, with a large

number of workshops and a discussion. We also have an increasing

number of posters being presented. To promote their work, each

contributor will have just one minute to persuade delegates to come

and view their poster.

An important part of this event has always been the informal

networking. It’s an ideal opportunity to catch up with colleagues

and to widen your professional network. Don’t miss the entertaining

Quiz Night on Tuesday, and the Chartership Celebration Evening on

Wednesday, which also incorporates the Institute Awards ceremony.

If any of the conference team, wearing red lanyards, can make your visit

more enjoyable, please let us know. If you’re not yet a member, come

and chat to us and we’ll talk you through the benefi ts of joining the

Institute.

It’s never too early to plan your contributions to next year’s conference,

and the team would be pleased to discuss proposals for EHF2016.

Finally, we’d like to wish all presenters, delegates, exhibitors and

sponsors a successful and enjoyable conference.

I will review the current forms of simulation used in diff erent healthcare settings for education, training and patient safety

improvement. Opportunities for using simulation as a tool to promote safer behaviours and test new environments,

technologies, and processes will be considered. The potential barriers to implementing change in healthcare practices related

to existing professional and organisational cultures and team climates will be discussed. This will provide the context for exploring how,

when and where human factors science and practice might become better utilised in the UK healthcare system.

Ye Olde QuizzeTuesdaye after evensong

Don’t miss out on the chance to relax over a tankard of mead and a couple of turnips

Take part in an unforgettable evening of brain teasers and challenges on history,

geography, science, music and more, that will test your wits, your cunning, your

ingenuity and your colouring in skills.

It’ll be like Wolf Hall all over again but with less embroidery.

University at Buff alo, USA

Big Data Analytics aims to fi nd ‘meaningful insights’ by analysing the huge data volumes now produced by sensors,

consumer data, mobile phone records and surveillance activities. While Big Data Analytics has well-publicised successes,

there are both potential benefi ts and pitfalls at its intersection with human factors / ergonomics.

Colin Drury is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Industrial and Systems Engineering at University at Buff alo: SUNY, applying human factors

techniques to inspection, security and maintenance processes. He is also President of Applied Ergonomics Group Inc.
