Content ArticleThis masterclass, facilitated by Peter Walsh, Chief Executive Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA), and Carolyn Cleveland, Founder and Owner C & C Empathy Training Ltd, will provide participants with an in-depth knowledge of what needs to be done to comply with the duty of candour; clarify ‘grey areas’ and provide guidance on dealing with difficult situations which may arise. It will provide participants with an understanding of good practice in implementing the duty and, in particular doing so in a meaningful way with empathy, to not only comply, but to work with patients and loved ones in a way that puts the emotional experience at the heart of communication. Staff with responsibility for implementing the duty of candour and responsible for quality, safety, clinical governance, safety investigations, complaints or CQC compliance, patient experience and executive teams would benefit from attending this one day masterclass. For more information see the flyer attached. The next events are on the 18 July, 17 October and 12 December.

Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS)
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in In surgery
The non-technical skills of surgeons (NOTSS) play a significant role in patient safety. The aim of the NOTSS project was to develop and test an educational system for assessment and training of non-technical skills in the intra-operative phase of surgery. NOTSS is a behaviour rating system based on a skills taxonomy that allows valid and reliable observation and assessment of four categories of surgeons' non-technical skill: situation awareness, decision making, communication & teamwork, and leadership. These are the essential non-technical skills surgeons need to perform safely in the operating room and NOTSS allows measurement of several ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) competencies, including professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, and systems-based practice. The skills taxonomy can be used to structure training and assessment in this important area of surgical competence. -

Content ArticleCompassion can be defined as ‘a sensitivity to suffering in self and others with a commitment to try to alleviate and prevent it’ (Gilbert 2013). We can experience compassion in different ways: we can feel compassion for other people; we can experience compassion from others; and there is also the compassion we can direct towards ourselves. Compassionate leadership involves a focus on relationships through careful listening to, understanding, empathising with and supporting other people, enabling those we lead to feel valued, respected and cared for, so they can reach their potential and do their best work. There is clear evidence that compassionate leadership results in more engaged and motivated staff with high levels of wellbeing, which in turn results in high-quality care. In this King's Fund explainer, Suzie Bailey and Michael West describe four behaviours of compassionate leadership and why compassionate leadership matters.

Content ArticleShared decision making involves ensuring patients are able to contribute meaningfully to decisions about their care. Healthcare professionals ensure patients are informed of the options available to them and fully involve patients in making treatment decisions. This report by the Patients Association sets out the views of 1,416 healthcare professionals on shared decision making, expressed in an online survey in Spring 2022. Respondents included GPs, consultants, specialist nurses and practice nurses. The survey found that most healthcare professionals are positive about shared decision making, but feel their ability to practice it regularly is limited by the current situation in the NHS. Many said that lack of time, gaps in the workforce and large caseloads prevented them partnering with patients to make decisions about treatment and care together.
