This platform is becoming a cesspit therefore I making a conscious decision to move away from X/Twitter and giving Bluesky a go - if you are looking at it then would appreciate linking up: bsky.app/profile/bazkir…

@PatrickWaterso1 Congratulations Patrick - well done, I’m sure the students really appreciated your time

Just given my first lecture in two years - really enjoyed teaching our MSc Ergonomics students - great fun!

But this “Do Not Touch” label was on everything - in a room full of ergonomists, perhaps that’s knowing your audience…

It was the launch of the @CIEHF 75th Anniversary Exhibition launch - The theme of “Think Human” was the backdrop of a gathering of some amazing Human Factors practitioners and friends :-)

Barry chats with Adam Smith C.ErgHF and Rhian Williams-Skingley about their Human Factors Podcast Human in the Loop 1202podcast.com/human-in-the-l…

Fair play - if there isn’t enough time in the school day, no matter what age, then there is too much work. We insist on work during work hours, we should push for the same for pupils!

A quick reminder that Patient Safety Congress in Manchester is now just a week away and the Clinical Human Factors Group will be running Stream F "Making Human Factors Everyday Business" on Tuesday 17th September. We will also be on Stand 1 in the exhibition hall in the breaks and will have experts on hand to discuss Human Factors and improving patient safety within your organisations. Do come and find us and say hello. The full Congress programme (including details of our stream) can be found at patientsafetycongress.co.uk/2024-programme

In this new episode, Filip Florek shares some of his insights about delivering Human Factors in different domains 1202podcast.com/filip-florek/

🚨 Louis Rees-Zammit has signed to the @Jaguars practice squad 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚡️

We have signed OL Blake Hance, S Matthew Jackson, and WR Louis Rees-Zammit to the practice squad. jaguars.com/news/roster-mo…

@premnsikka @LeftGrassroots It requires complete overhaul and taken back into public ownership

@premnsikka @LeftGrassroots I don’t think profit is the magic bullet - Welsh Water is not for profit and still is broken

On water industry Keir Starmer said: "we’re strengthening the powers of the water regulator. and backing tough fines on water companies that have let sewage flood our rivers, lakes and seas" Fines have been levied for decades. Nothing will change until profit motive is removed

If @LouisReesZammit has been released by Chiefs as reported then I’m so sorry for him - but does that mean the @RamsNFL pick him up - that would be awesome if so ;-)

The Patient Safety Commissioner has launched a public consultation on a draft of "seven principles of better patient safety" They seem very sensible and it's hard to disagree with any of them. The Clinical Human Factors Group have responded to the consultation supporting the principles while stressing the importance of human factors science and systems thinking to ensure they don't just remain as principles but become part of the way work is done and the way care is delivered. The consultation survey is at #1721036789575-825f8f83-9848" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">patientsafetycommissioner.org.uk/principles-of-… Whether you are a patient, service user, healthcare worker, care deliverer, campaigner or interested for any reason - have your say too.

@thiswillstick @ta_mills @LeftGrassroots I guess until they have had time to make a change, neither of us can say who is right. So maybe we review this next month? But I’m curious - if you are sure they won’t make any changes - who do you think would have?

@Baz_k @ta_mills @LeftGrassroots They won't make any real changes, Barry.

- PowerPoint 1: Vindictively attack the left in your own party. - PowerPoint 2: Do fuck all & wait for your actual opponents to spectacularly implode. - PowerPoint 3: Win a stomping majority on less votes than the people you've spent years maligning.

@SusanFairweathe @ta_mills @LeftGrassroots Anyone saying that the winner didn’t win because they want to play different rules after the result does not merit being taken seriously. Some of us live in the real world.

@Baz_k @ta_mills @LeftGrassroots No, they didn't win a majority at all - our ridiculous electoral system gave a minority a mandate. As for "make real change", anyone still spouting that tripe does not merit being taken seriously. Some of us live in the real world.

What happens when an expert level player is told they can’t level up anymore…
