@HorsleyCarl "the crew did not realise Manawanui remained in autopilot" So, nothing whatsoever to do with the autopilot <eye roll>.

@Acyn The lying and cynicism of weak men, lacking integrity or morals, but desperate for power.

“Don’t vote for Donald Trump.” - Rob Delaney

@WhatNowDoc @implausibleblog Lol. Just holding up a mirror for you, Mr Angry "Cloth Ears" on 'both sides' who is suddenly now surprised that these 'objectionable' behaviors aren't going to bring out the best in people.

@KenCatchpole @implausibleblog Dear me! What a silly, objectionable fellow you are. 👋

Steve Coogan, "What's happening in the US elections is beyond satire I think, it would be funny if it wasn't real" "But the dehumanisation of people by Donald Trump.. His rhetoric.. What's worrying is that people find that acceptable" "That kindness, generosity of spirit, seems to have gone out the window"

@WhatNowDoc @implausibleblog I'm fine, thanks Mr "I'm so Angry Right Now" from Remdesivir that "killed 54% of the people who took it" lol. Keep up the not voting. Especially in elections you don't understand. About topics you're too ignorant, gullible and misled to contribute meaningfully to.

@KenCatchpole @implausibleblog Oh, I just thought you weren’t listening. I didn’t realise you were in such a bad way. Oops!

@WhatNowDoc @implausibleblog Angry, bitter, mislead, ignorant and gullible?

@KenCatchpole @implausibleblog Cloth ears?

@ismellbullpoo @implausibleblog That's literally because some of them are. vox.com/policy-and-pol…

@implausibleblog Yeah nothing like dehumanising all his supporters calling them Nazis and the like yeah Yeah let’s not forget that Bloody Whoopie cushion

@WhatNowDoc @implausibleblog Rubbish.

@implausibleblog ON. BOTH. SIDES.

Trevor Kletz (whose work I’ve become a big fan of lately) would apparently often repeat “There's an old saying that if you think safety is expensive, try an accident.” I wish more would understand this.

@haroldthimbleby Yes..this is true. Most grants are a straight rejection. The process here is that you get feedback on why you were scored down. You have to respond, but there's a strong chance you'll get different reviewers next time with different criticisms. Often scores are worse 2nd time.

@KenCatchpole At least you get reviewers. Leverhulme rejected me with no comments at all. More positively: can you respond to reviewers, as in UKRI and journals? If not, escalate the principle rather than your particular case.

Responding to a grant when the reviewers clearly don't have the faintest clue about safety science (because of the chronic misunderstandings continually perpetuated in healthcare) is no fun. How do you address "Encoding information on labels means people won't read it" nonsense?

@DrGetafix Literally, "Where's the evidence that color and shape make a difference?". It's like "where's the evidence that teamwork makes a difference?" from the 00's.

@KenCatchpole "Hey, do you like our new stop signs!? No need for colour or shape, and it makes it cheaper too!"🤦‍♂️

@bruce_lambert Hahaha. Yes, indeed. It's a good intellectual challenge. ;-)

@KenCatchpole For that, I’m afraid I have no easy answers. You know, as well as I do how hard it is to change the way people think about these things. Michael Corleone said in the Godfather part three, “this is the life we’ve chosen.“

@bruce_lambert Thank you - this is helpful. But it's much more of a chronic problem esp mistaking errors for harm and applying linear determinism to complex adaptive systems. It's like studying checklists based on counting aircraft accidents, or road fatalities based on people not indicating.

@KenCatchpole Sometimes you have to ask for special reviewers that are not on the standing committee. I’ve done that in the past. It doesn’t always work, but sometimes they’ll make an exception to find someone who can understand your work if you complain to the study section chair.

@DeakinSue1 I'm definitely getting tired... especially when it seems misconceptions build on one another to move us backwards. Also, the USA is definitely a more challenging environment to want to change......

@KenCatchpole I’m optimistic but you’ve been plugging away at this for so long I can see why it seems to take forever . It’s thanks to people like you that others are realising it 🙏

It's tragic and frustrating how healthcare continues to ignore the lessons of safety science, human factors, joint cognitive systems, and complex adaptation, instead doubling down on simplistic notions of "error", blame, trying harder, person vs system, and linear determinism.

@nosecglasses Just as we incompetent HF pros think that if only h/c execs & politicians tried harder...... ;-)

@KenCatchpole Look it's simple cause and effect Ken - those incompetent politicians and healthcare executives who aren't doing their job and keep making the same WAI policy mistakes and wait what am I saying?

@ctoddkicker1 @ri_cook @ddwoods2 Funnily enough, this tweet came about writing a review where I've suggested the authors read Richard Cook...because counting errors and mistaking them for harm was always a fool's errand.

@KenCatchpole Yep. Even some of heavies in safety science tried like the late @ri_cook and @ddwoods2.

Also a problem in Technology 👇

@DeakinSue1 Yes....change seems to happen only through 'drip feed' of ideas over time via close everyday relationships. Frustratingly slow. Been hoping for 20 years to see safety scientists teaching in medical schools and working with committees and leadership of royal colleges etc.

@KenCatchpole Little pockets of change needs multilayer awareness and committment . Once you see it you cannot unsee it

@JamesTitcombe Clinicians need to recognize that they can't do it themselves. "Whereas the use of nonexperts to provide clinical care would be viewed as negligence, the use of nonexperts in patient safety is the standard of care" spaces-cdn.owlstown.com/blobs/nik033yx…
