Introduction
This year the Irish Ergonomics Society has the pleasure of holding its annual conference in conjunction with the Safety in Health Systems Group. The conference will be of interest to those interested in human factors challenges and emerging approaches in healthcare. The event will also retain diverse ergonomics presentations from across the discipline during the afternoon session. The conference will include presentations from ergonomics and human factors professionals, distinguished invited keynote speakers, and health care professionals with an interest in applying human factors methods.
The call for presentations is now open. Presentations are invited under two streams:
1) Morning session: Human Factors in Healthcare systems
For the morning session, presentations are invited on basic and applied research addressing human factors/ergonomics issues in healthcare or presenting novel and emerging approaches to understanding the complexity of the health system.
2) Afternoon session: Human Factors and Ergonomics outside healthcare
For the afternoon session, presentations are invited on basic and applied research addressing diverse ergonomics challenges. Industry case studies from practitioners are also encouraged.
