Human in Health and Care - Episode 3 - Safety Culture

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Human Factors in Health and Care Podcast. In this episode, the hosts explore the complex concept of safety culture—what it means, why it matters, and how it shapes everyday work, performance, and wellbeing across health and social care.

Through discussion and real-world examples, the episode unpacks why safety culture is hard to define, how it influences behaviour at all levels, and how tools like the NES Safety Culture Discussion Cards can support more meaningful conversations about how work is really done.
