    Dr Joanna Poole is an Anaesthetic trainee and a Doctors Association UK (DAUK) member. After sharing a blog on Twitter about wanting to quit medicine which went viral, Joanna has been inundated with messages from fellow doctors who have found themselves in a similar situation. Now, Joanna has been invited to share her experiences with multiple Royal Colleges and Joanna is collating the responses she has received anonymously in the hope this will inspire a kinder NHS for our doctors. Joanna is a force for change and is a real example for what grassroots doctors can achieve when they speak up.

    #NHSMeToo

    Claire Cox

    Claire Cox posted an article in Motivating staff

    The NHS is Britain’s greatest treasure. Yet it still harbours a culture of hierarchy where bullying, harassment and appalling training environments can go unchallenged. The Doctors Association UK (DAUK) believe that bullying, and discouraging victims from speaking up, goes hand in hand with a blame culture. Often doctors are shamed into silence, and don’t realise other doctors are struggling just as much as they are. Morale is at an all time low in the NHS, with rates of burnout and sadly, even physician suicide on the rise. DAUK are teaming up with the Royal Colleges as part of a wider NHS anti-bullying alliance and are encouraging doctors to speak about their experiences.

    On 10 May 2017, the RCP (Royal College of Physicians) hosted ‘Learning from mortality reviews to improve patient safety’ as part of it's Keeping patients safe seminar series. The event discussed how the National Mortality Case Record Review (NMCRR) can improve care and keep patients safe. As well as hearing from the RCP's National Mortality Case Record Review (NMCRR) team about their work and the results of the programme's pilot phase, the seminar was an opportunity to hear about the wide-ranging work the RCP is undertaking to support improvements in patient safety.

    The aim of this qualitative service evaluation, published by Nursing in Critical Care, was to map the barriers and facilitators to the escalation of care in the acute ward setting and identify those that are modifiable. This service evaluation identified barriers and facilitators to the escalation of care in the acute ward setting. Unlike other studies, we found that re‐escalation or tracking of deterioration was problematic. Patients identified as being at a higher risk of escalation failure included complex patients, outliers, and patients with multiple care teams.

    Women are having their appendixes removed wrongly in nearly a third of cases, British research suggests. Researchers said too many female patients were being put under the knife when they should have undergone investigations for period pain, ovarian cysts or urinary tract infections. They said the study, which compared practices in 154 UK hospitals with those of 120 in Europe, suggests that Britain may have the highest rate of needless appendectomies in the world. Surgeons said they were particularly concerned by the high rates among women, with 28% of operations found to be unnecessary. They said the NHS was too quick to book patients in for surgery, when further scans and investigations should have been ordered. Researchers warned that such operations put patients at risk of complications, as well as fuelling NHS costs. Read full story Source: The Telegraph, 4 December 2019

    Clinician burnout has been well-documented and is at record highs. The same issues that drive burnout also diminish joy in work for the healthcare workforce. Healthcare leaders need to understand what factors are diminishing joy in work, nurture their workforce, and address the issues that drive burnout and sap joy in work. The most joyful, productive, engaged staff feel both physically and psychologically safe, appreciate the meaning and purpose of their work, have some choice and control over their time, experience camaraderie with others at work, and perceive their work life to be fair and equitable. There are proven methods for creating a positive work environment that creates these conditions and ensures the commitment to deliver high-quality care to patients, even in stressful times.

    Patient safety depends on doctors’ well-being. Medicine is a tough job, but it's made it far harder than it should be by neglecting the simple basics in caring for doctors’ well-being. The well-being of doctors is vital because there is abundant evidence that workplace stress in healthcare organisations affects quality of care for patients as well as doctors’ own health. In 2018 the General Medical Council asked Professor Michael West and Dame Denise Coia to carry out a UK-wide review into the factors which impact on the mental health and well-being of medical students and doctors. The detailed practical proposals in this report provide a road map to health service leaders faced with the challenge of developing healthy and sustainable workforces.

    Hospitals are so short of doctors and nurses that patients’ safety and quality of care are under threat, senior NHS leaders have warned in a dramatic intervention in the general election campaign Nine out of 10 hospital bosses in England fear understaffing across the service has become so severe that patients’ health could be damaged. In addition, almost six in 10 (58%) believe this winter will be the toughest yet for the service. The 131 chief executives, chairs and directors of NHS trusts in England expressed their serious concern about the deteriorating state of the service in a survey conducted by the NHS Confederation. The findings came days after the latest official figures showed that hospitals’ performance against key waiting times for A&E care, cancer treatment and planned operations had fallen to its worst ever level. However, many service chiefs told the confederation that delays will get even longer when the cold weather creates extra demand for care. “There is real concern among NHS leaders as winter approaches and this year looks particularly challenging,” said Niall Dickson, the chief executive of the confederation, which represents most NHS bodies, including hospital trusts, in England." “Health leaders are deeply concerned about its ability to cope with demand, despite frontline staff treating more patients than ever."

    Harold Shipman was an English doctor who killed approximately 15 patients while working as a junior hospital doctor in the 1970s, and another 235 or so when working subsequently as a general practitioner. Is it possible to learn general lessons to improve patient safety from such extraordinary events? In this paper, published in the US Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, it is argued that it is not possible fully to understand how Shipman came to be such a successful and prolific serial killer, nor to learn how the safety of healthcare systems can be improved, unless his diabolical activities are studied using approaches developed to investigate patient safety.

    Locum doctors are often perceived to present greater risks of causing harm to patients than permanent doctors. However, a study from Ferguson and Walshe published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine found that there is little evidence that locum doctors, including GPs, have a 'detrimental' pact on patient care delivery.

    A 24/7 clinical tele-triage service for care homes in Wirral has resulted in an average 66% decrease in the number of NHS 111 calls and a 10% decrease in ambulance conveyances to A&E for care home residents. The service is delivered by all the area’s health and social care partners with funding support from the Innovation Agency. Care homes have been provided with iPads and secure nhs.net email addresses, and staff have been trained to take basic observations and equipped with blood pressure monitors, thermometers, urine dipsticks and oximeters.

    In Wales, like in England, the government has come under pressure over the poor performance of parts of the service. The Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board is the largest in Wales. It also has the worst A&E waiting times and has been in special measures for three years. Its hospital in Bangor, Ysbyty Gwynedd, serves 193,000 people, from tourists visting Snowdonia to the many retirees who live in North Wales. In this film, Saleyha Ahsan, looks at how the department tries to cope with unrelenting demand for patient space.

    Team-targeted rudeness may underlie performance deficiencies, with individuals exposed to rude behaviour being less helpful and cooperative. The objective of this paper, published by The Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, was to explore the impact of rudeness on the performance of medical teams. In conclusion,  rudeness had adverse consequences on the diagnostic and procedural performance of the neonatal intensive care team members. Information-sharing mediated the adverse effect of rudeness on diagnostic performance, and help-seeking mediated the effect of rudeness on procedural performance.

    Promoting patient and occupational safety are two key challenges for hospitals.  Recent studies have shown there are key topics that are interrelated and form a critical foundation for promoting patient and occupational safety in hospitals. So far, these topics have mainly been studied independently from each other. This study did a combined assessment of hospital staffs’ perceptions of four different topics: psychosocial working conditions leadership patient safety climate occupational safety climate.

    In this Editorial published in BMJ Quality & Safety, Major and Aphinyanaphongs discuss the challenges in translating mortality risk to the point of care. Despite advances in medicine, prognostication remains inaccurate for many patients. Physicians tend to overestimate survival, even in advanced cancer and terminal illness groups. Over half of terminally ill patients express they do not want prolonging of life if their quality of life would decline. End-of-life interventions such as advanced care planning have shown improved adherence to patient’s wishes, improvement in satisfaction and reductions in stress, anxiety and depression, but clinicians remain reluctant to initiate end-of-life discussions with terminal patients if they are currently asymptomatic. Automated systems can complement clinician judgement to prompt earlier end-of-life discussions.
