Content ArticleIn 2019 the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) carried out a survey which evidenced the extent of non-consultant hospital doctors’ concerns about different aspects of their ability to deliver out of hours care. Respondents were also asked to give examples or aspirations of best practice. This report uses this survey data and examples of best practice to provide a proactive guideline to support trainee surgeons. The survey found that there were five key areas requiring improvement for nonconsultant hospital doctors when working OOH, specifically: a) electronic systems; b) supervision; c) training; d) staffing; e) facilities. This document considers the results of the survey to make recommendations on best practice that will support non-consultant hospital doctors and protect patients out of hours.

Content ArticleIn July 2017, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh published a number of critical recommendations to government to greatly improve safety in the delivery of surgical treatment and patient care, with seven recommendations for best practice. The RCSEd surveyed opinions from a cross-section of the UK surgical workforce - from trainees to consultants - which highlighted broad inefficiencies on the frontline which impact the working environment and the delivery of a safe service. The report notes factors adversely affecting morale, including a lack of team structure, poor communication, high stress levels, and limited training opportunities. The report also records how staff, at times, feel diverted away from the patient-centred care they strive to deliver because of administrative and IT issues, and believe that being more innovative and efficient with existing resources could make a positive difference.

Content ArticleLeading for the delivery of integrated care is a new leadership course from the King's Fund and this is your chance to be part of the first cohort in January 2022. The programme has been designed for senior managers and clinicians responsible for delivering integrated patient-centred services. The content is relevant if you are responsible for integrated services either: within the boundaries of a single organisation, such as a hospital working in a partnership role with two or more organisations, or; a hybrid role that incorporates both single and partnership responsibilities. You might be employed by the local integrated care system or integrated care partnership or neighbourhood and might be leading teams and coaching others to work in new ways to achieve improved patient/carer outcomes.

Content ArticleThe purpose of this investigation by the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) is to help improve patient safety in relation to recognition of the acutely ill infant and child, recognising the difficulty in distinguishing between simple viral illnesses and life-threatening bacterial infections in very young patients. This Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch investigation reviewed the case of Mohammad, a baby who had become unwell and was taken to an emergency department by ambulance following a call to NHS 111. He arrived at 8.04pm and was considered to have a mild viral illness, subsequently being transferred to a paediatric observational ward, and discharged at 11.45pm with a diagnosis of likely bronchiolitis. At approximately 3.40am his mother contacted the ward as his condition worsened, which resulted in a 999 call. The ambulance crew did not consider that Mohammad was seriously ill so did not conduct a ‘blue light’ emergency transfer to hospital. Mohammad was admitted to the emergency department at approximately 4.40am and suffered a respiratory and then cardiac arrest at 5:28am, with attempts to resuscitate unsuccessful and stopped at 6:10am. Mohammad died of septicaemia caused by meningococcus (serogroup B) bacteria.

Content ArticleThe launch of Barts Health quality strategy in November 2019 was an important moment for the trust. The 24 page document set out how they would use quality improvement (QI) methodology to become a good and outstanding group of hospitals. Within weeks of the strategy however, the world had changed with COVID-19. How they worked, where they worked and the things they were working on were flipped on their head. Despite this, colleagues across Barts Health have continued to apply the QI skills they had learnt since the WeImprove programme began three years ago. Examples include setting up family liaison hubs for patients in critical care and establishing a network of blood test locations across the boroughs to reduce visits to the hospitals.

Content ArticleRecently an enduring discussion evolved on Twitter on why safety culture is important for patient safety. My reaction, of course, was: it isn’t. Let me explain why. I think it is possible to address safety without addressing safety culture. Or, rather, to focus on actions that will improve both safety performance and safety culture (as a by-product) at the same time. In this blog I propose some of these actions – showing how to create an understanding of how work is (actually) done (rather than what it says on paper), seeing what makes it difficult and identifying what resources are missing. If we address these challenges, then surely we will be able to improve safety and safety culture will follow naturally.
