Content ArticleThis American article looks at a patient safety communication strategy called 'teach-back', outlined by a Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) guide. During patient teach-back, providers explain patient medical conditions, treatment options, or self-care instructions to patients. They then ask patients to repeat the information back to them in their own words. The goal of teach-back is to ensure that you have explained medical information clearly so that patients and their families understand what you communicated to them,” the AHRQ guide explains. “This low-cost, low-technology intervention can be the gateway to better communication, better understanding, and ultimately shared decision-making.”

Content ArticleResilience in the context of anaesthesia and intensive care medicine is the ability to manage the breadth, depth, intensity and chronicity of the demands of the work. The concept of resilience is often misunderstood: it is a dynamic, contextual process that goes beyond the narrow conceptions of individual ‘toughness’ that it can be reduced to. Resilience is important for those working in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine, and indeed staff throughout healthcare, as it is inevitable that difficult cases and situations will be encountered during our working lives. In addition, the way in which we respond to these events is critical to our own welfare and competence at work.

The ReSPECT process provides a written record of patients' treatment preference and focuses on treatments to be considered as well as those that are not wanted or would not work. People with a complete ReSPECT form do not require a separate DNACPR form although it is important to be aware that a patient can have a ReSPECT form and still be in favour of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. ReSPECT aims to inform decision making for ambulance clinicians when the patient may lose capacity to make decisions for themselves. -

Content ArticleLeadership is all about people. During times of crisis, urgency, uncertainty and change the need for leadership is very real. Leadership that is exceptional and active. Colleagues can feel uninformed, anxious, not valued, not heard, confused and fearful. We know that these dimensions can hinder communication and performance but can be eased by regular contact with leadership, moments of clarity (even if short lived), transparency, openness, honesty and a sense that their concerns matter and are not simply dismissed. The time required for away days, large gatherings, huge debriefs may be difficult to secure but the concepts remain valid and checking in with your people is time well spent. These 5 questions, developed by (East and North Herts NHS Trust, can be used quickly and on a regular basis. If each of us was asked these 5 questions each day or shift they allow us to share how we are experiencing things, reflect on our team mates and colleagues, take away actions for ourselves to help others and have the support from our leadership in helping and supporting us. Good leadership in tough times can be action focused and people centred.
