    The stressful nature of the medical profession is a known trigger for aggression or abuse among healthcare staff. Interprofessional incivility, defined as low-intensity negative interactions with ambiguous or unclear intent to harm, has recently become an occupational concern in healthcare. While incivility in nursing has been widely investigated, its prevalence among physicians and its impact on patient care are poorly understood. This review summarises current understanding of the effects of interprofessional incivility on medical performance, service and patient care.

    An innovative approach to managing behaviour in the operating room (OR) using posters with eye symbols has seen positive results. A team of Australian researchers conducted a successful trial to address offensive and impolite remarks within ORs by implementing ‘eye’ signage in surgical rooms. These posters, placed on the walls of an Adelaide orthopaedic hospital’s operating theatre without explanation, effectively reduced poor behaviour among surgical teams. The lead researcher, Professor Cheri Ostroff from the University of South Australia, attributed this outcome to a sense of being ‘watched’, even though the eyes are not real. The three-month experiment targeted a prevalent culture of bullying and misconduct in surgical settings, a problem pervasive not only in healthcare but across various high-stress industries. Professor Ostroff emphasised that besides affecting staff morale and productivity, rude behaviour also has a detrimental impact on patients, particularly in compromising teamwork and communication during surgery, potentially leading to poorer outcomes.

    Incivility in the workplace, school and political system in the United States has permeated mass and social media in recent years and has also been recognized as a detrimental factor in medical education. This scoping review in BMC Medical Education identified research on incivility involving medical students, residents, fellows and faculty in North America to describe multiple aspects of incivility in medical education settings published since 2000. The results of the review highlight that incivility is likely to be under-reported across the continuum of medical education and also confirmed incidences of incivility involving nursing personnel and patients that haven't been emphasised in previous reviews.

    How we treat each other at work has an enormous impact on how teams perform—with potentially fatal consequences if you work in healthcare. Chris Turner, consultant in emergency medicine and founder of Civility Saves Lives, reveals the shocking impact of rudeness in the workplace. He highlights the importance of understanding the complex realities of practice and communication between healthcare professionals in different team environments, if we are to learn from patient safety incidents.

    The aim of this study in the journal Pediatrics was to explore the impact of rudeness on the performance of medical teams. Twenty-four NICU teams participated in a training simulation involving a preterm infant whose condition acutely deteriorated due to necrotizing enterocolitis. Participants were informed that a foreign expert on team reflexivity in medicine would observe them. Teams were randomly assigned to either exposure to rudeness (in which the expert’s comments included mildly rude statements completely unrelated to the teams’ performance) or control (neutral comments). The videotaped simulation sessions were evaluated by three independent judges (blinded to team exposure) who used structured questionnaires to assess team performance, information-sharing and help-seeking. The authors concluded that rudeness had adverse consequences on the diagnostic and procedural performance of NICU team members. Information-sharing mediated the adverse effect of rudeness on diagnostic performance, and help-seeking mediated the effect of rudeness on procedural performance.

    This blog by a UK-based dentist, who blogs under the name Fang Farrier, highlights the dangers of popular media presenting rumour about dentistry services as fact. She refers to an incident where a presenter on the TV show Good Morning Britain said that NHS doctors were no longer trained to be able to perform tooth extractions, describing it as a "categorical fact [presented] by a private dentist." The blog highlights four related issues concerning public perception of dentists, dentistry training and the impact of fear of complaints and litigation on NHS dentistry services: We need to be more mindful about how we talk about dentistry, particularly other dentists Our new graduates seem to be graduating with less experience and less confidence in most procedures, most notably extractions and root canal Fear of failure and taking risks The NHS question… will it stay or will it go?

    Teamwork is critical in delivering quality medical care, and failures in team communication and coordination are substantial contributors to medical errors. This study in JAMA Internal Medicine aimed to determine the effectiveness of increased familiarity between medical resident doctors and nurses on team performance, psychological safety and communication. The authors found that increased familiarity between nurses and residents promoted rapid improvement of nursing perception of team relationships and, over time, led to higher team performance on complex cognitive tasks in medical simulations. They argue that medical systems should consider increasing team familiarity as a way to improve doctor-nursing teamwork and patient care.

    An ambulance service rated ‘inadequate’ by the Care Quality Commission has set out a wide-ranging improvement plan, including ‘civility training’ for senior leaders and ensuring board members hear a mix of ‘positive and negative’ stories from patients and staff. South Central Ambulance Service has been moved into the equivalent of “special measures” by NHS England, in the wake of the Care Quality Commission report in August which criticised “extreme positivity” at the highest levels of the organisation. This means 3 out of only 10 dedicated ambulance service trusts in England are now in segment four of NHSE’s system oversight framework, the successor to special measures. The other ambulance services in segment four are East of England and South East Coast. In a damning inspection report published in August, the care watchdog said that leaders were “out of touch” and staff had faced a “dismissive attitude” when they tried to raise concerns. One staff member told inspectors: “When sexual harassment is reported it seems to be brushed under the carpet and the person is given a second chance. Because of this, a lot of staff feel unsafe, unsupported and vulnerable when coming to work.” An improvement plan summary published at the start of last month included a large number of priorites and actions, including to “ensure [a] mix of positive and negative patient/staff stories are presented to [trust] board meetings” – an apparent attempt to address CQC concerns that its positive outlook could feel “dismissive of the reality to frontline staff”.

    The NHS Resolution Just and learning culture charter has been developed as a resource to support the creation of a person-centred workplace that is compassionate, safe and fair when care in the NHS goes wrong. Most of the time, care received by patients in the NHS is safe. Sometimes, even with our best intentions, things can go wrong. When things go wrong, support, care and understanding for everyone involved must be a priority. At no time is there an excuse for incivility, bullying and harassment within the NHS. We accept the evidence that the NHS will provide safer care and be a healthier place to work if we address all of the components of a learning organisation and this underpins our charter. The hope is that this charter will act as a tool to help organisations take a consistent approach towards staff in relation to incidents and errors.

    This 'Kindness in healthcare' website is the home for ‘conversation for kindness’, which is a monthly meeting that was set up in the summer of 2020 by a group of colleagues and friends working in healthcare across Sweden, the UK and the USA. The initial purpose of getting together was to have some time together to continue some initial conversations around kindness, and to explore its role at the ‘business end’ of healthcare. As the conversation has developed, interest in this work has grown and it now has contributors from almost 30 different countries across the globe. The monthly virtual call takes place the 3rd Thursday of every month (6-7pm GMT) and its focus is on listening, learning, thinking differently and mobilising for action It's an open culture of sharing of resources, energy and ideas.
