    In The Silo Effect, the author uses an anthropological lens to explore how individuals, teams and whole organisations often work in silos of thought, process and product. With examples drawn from a range of fascinating areas - the New York Fire Department and Facebook to the Bank of England and Sony - these narratives illustrate not just how foolishly people can behave when they are mastered by silos but also how the brightest institutions and individuals can master them.

    This interview with intensivist and CEO of the the UK Sepsis Trust, Ron Daniels, shown on the Victoria Derbyshire programme, states the '... the UK cannot increase its ICU capacity "rapidly enough" to deal with levels of coronavirus patients'' Fears are growing for the safety of patients who will be contracting the virus, some of who will need intensive care, but there is not enough beds or trained staff to care for them appropriately.

    'Hospitals should remove any barriers to doctors eating and drinking during the working day'. As healthcare providers, it’s easy to forget to look after ourselves at work. We know that taking breaks and eating and drinking regularly is a critical component of being “optimised,” helping to sustain our energy, concentration and performance, and reduce the risk of human error. Yet, for many, the realities of working in busy, modern hospitals get in the way. Medicine is a demanding profession, with days often starting early and finishing late and many fall into the habit of forgetting to take regular breaks, not drinking enough fluids, or missing meals. If we want to improve staff wellbeing and reduce the risk of errors, we need to change this.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic it is important to reduce the variation in individual ward/service/organisational practices and try as much as possible to adopt a shared, safe standard for staff looking after ward patients. SPACES (Sharing Patient Assessments Cuts Exposure for Staff) is a standardised approach to the management of ward care. It is based on the principles of 'maximum patient contact, minimum staff exposure'. SPACES can help keep staff safe and reduce PPE use. It is for everyone working on a ward with suspected or proven COVID-19 cases, and particularly for multi-professional teams. Attached is more information and a poster for the ward area.

    Health Education England (HEE) has created this accelerated preceptorship guide, for use with newly qualified practitioners (NQPs) and Health Care Professionals (HCP's) on the NMC Covid-19 temporary register in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance is focused on how health and care organisations pan-London can support newly qualified practitioners (NQPs) and health care professionals (HCPs) on the Covid-19 temporary register. This is a fast-changing and emerging situation and guidance may be subject to further development. Therefore, these principles should be used in conjunction with advice and guidance from the regulatory councils (e.g. Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the royal colleges, trade unions and national HEE guidance.

    The NHS has declared climate change a health emergency, but are trust leaders and healthcare staff talking and acting on this? Angela Hayes, Clinical Lead Sustainability at the Christie Foundation Trust, discusses climate change and the impact it has on all of our lives and health. She believes healthcare professionals have a moral duty to act, to protect and improve public health, and should demand stronger action in tackling climate change.

    NHS England has committed to reducing its direct emissions to ‘net zero’ carbon emissions by 2040, with most of the reduction by 2030. There are similar initiatives underway in Wales and Scotland. The Environmentally Sustainable Healthcare (ESH) programme was developed with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare and the HEE Northeast Faculty of Sustainable Healthcare to provide the healthcare workforce with the knowledge and skills to deliver healthcare for financial, social and environmental sustainability.

    We should be! The NHS has declared climate change a health emergency, but are trust leaders and healthcare staff talking and acting on this? In her second blog for the hub, Angela Hayes, Clinical Lead Sustainability at the Christie Foundation Trust, discusses why as healthcare professionals we have a duty to care, to protect and promote public health, and why nurses are ideally placed to deliver this vital climate emergency health message.

    The management of occupational health, safety and wellbeing is now central to the effective running of the NHS. There is strong evidence linking patient safety, patient experiences and the quality of care with the safety, health and wellbeing of the workforce. The Boorman review into the health and wellbeing of the NHS workforce clearly illustrates this link. However, looking after the health and wellbeing of staff is far more than supporting staff to develop health lifestyles: there is a legal duty to protect the health and safety of staff as detailed in the NHS Constitution. The NHS Staff Council’s Health, Safety and Wellbeing Partnership Group (HSWPG) have developed these standards through national partnership working to support NHS organisations in meeting their legal duties to protect staff from injury and illness.
