31st EACTA Annual Congress 2016
Congress Center Basel
Messeplatz 21Basel
Switzerland
Human factors underpinning patient safety is the theme of the 2016 EACTA Annual Congress. In recent years, we have learnt that human factors both play an essential role in the safe delivery of patient care and are a major contributor to adverse outcomes. Therefore, the Congress programme will finely focus on ‘human factors engineering’, that is ‘designing the workplace and the equipment in it to accommodate for limitations of human performance’ (WHO Patient Safety Curriculum Guide). In addition, the programme will offer a well-balanced mixture of lectures, workshops, problem-based learning discussions and meet-the-expert sessions covering many important scientific and practical issues in cardiac, thoracic and vascular anaesthesia and critical care medicine.
