Abstract: The old adage that ‘the operation was a success, but the patient died’ is a stark illustration that technical proficiency without non-technical skills (NTS) is not always enough to guarantee a good patient outcome. Nowhere in clinical practice is this more evident than in the trauma bay where members of the trauma team, with a variety of skill sets, simultaneously perform a range of time-critical procedures of varying complexity. Add to that the facts that this will often be an ‘action team’ that assembles around the time the patient arrives and may often contain individuals who have not previously worked together, and the challenge of leading the team becomes obvious.
