    The government has admitted that many ‘vulnerable’ hospitals ‘suffer with a lack of permanence of leadership’, but said that chiefs are only sacked by NHS England ‘in extreme and exceptional circumstances’. The comments were included in the government’s response to the independent investigation into major maternity care failures at East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust, which highlighted how the practice of repeatedly hiring and firing leaders had contributed to its problems. The investigation said successive chairs and CEOs at the FT were “wrong” to believe it provided adequate care, and urged that they be held accountable. But it said senior management churn had been “wholly counterproductive”, and that it had “found at chief executive, chair and other levels a pattern of hiring and firing, initiated by NHS England” which would “never have been an explicit policy, but [had] become institutionalised”.

    Some acute trusts have kept more than half of their executive directors over a five-year period – whereas others have seen all of them change, according to HSJ analysis of top-level managerial stability. HSJ looked at the number of executive directors who had been in place between April 2017 and April 2022, by examining annual reports and board papers. One trust – Southport and Ormskirk – had five CEOs during the five year period, and three other trusts had four. The national average was more than two different CEOs at each trust across the five years. Thirty-one trusts (out of 108 listed) had three different CEOs during the period, and just 23 trusts had one. NHS Providers interim chief executive Saffron Cordery said: “This analysis underlines the value of long-term investment in NHS trust leadership. It highlights too the danger of chopping and changing leaders amid longstanding financial, capacity, workforce and other structural pressures on the health system. “It is vital to invest in people alongside operational priorities. More must be done to guarantee a robust and diverse pipeline of leaders, equipped to take on crucial roles.” Read full story (paywalled) Source: HSJ, 22 August 2022

    A major trust’s former chief executive and medical director have been cleared, after being accused of failing to protect breast patients from a rogue surgeon. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service has ruled neither Mark Goldman nor Ian Cunliffe’s fitness to practise was impaired, in a case brought by the General Medical Council. Mr Goldman was chief executive of the Heart of England Foundation Trust from 2001 until 2010, while Dr Cunliffe served as HEFT medical director between 2006 and 2010. Both held roles at HEFT while Ian Paterson was there. Mr Paterson was jailed for 20 years in 2017 after being convicted of 17 offences of wounding with intent while being employed at HEFT, while a later inquiry concluded he may have conducted up to 1,000 botched and unnecessary operations over a 14-year period. Mr Goldman and Dr Cunliffe are now pursuing the GMC for the costs of the case, which is expected to be heard over five days in January 2023. Read full story (paywalled) Source: HSJ, 18 October 2022

    Subject: Looking for Clinical Champions (Patient Safety Managers, Risk Managers, Nurses, Frontline clinical staff) to join AI startup Hello colleagues, I am Yesh. I am the founder and CEO of Scalpel. <www.scalpel.ai> We are on a mission to make surgery safer and more efficient with ZERO preventable incidents across the globe. We are building an AI (artificially intelligent) assistant for surgical teams so that they can perform safer and more efficient operations. (I know AI is vaguely used everywhere these days, to be very specific, we use a sensor fusion approach and deploy Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Data Analytics in the operating room to address preventable patient safety incidents in surgery.) We have been working for multiple NHS trusts including Leeds, Birmingham and Glasgow for the past two years. For a successful adoption of our technology into the wider healthcare ecosystem, we are looking for champion clinicians who have a deeper understanding of the pitfalls in the current surgical safety protocols, innovation process in healthcare and would like to make a true difference with cutting edge technology. You will be part of a collaborative and growing team of engineers and data scientists based in our central London office. This role is an opportunity for you to collaborate in making a difference in billions of lives that lack access to safe surgery. Please contact me for further details. Thank you Yesh yesh@scalpel.ai

    In July 2018, the then Minister of State for Health, Stephen Barclay MP, commissioned Tom Kark QC to write a report and to make recommendations in relation to the fit and proper person test (FPPT) as it applied under Regulation 5 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The Tom Kark QC review of the fit and proper person test (the Kark review) was published in February 2019 and made seven recommendations on how to improve the operation and effectiveness of Regulation 5.

    Clinical engagement has supplemented clinical governance in healthcare to strengthen the contribution of medical professionals to the assessment of clinical outcomes for patients. Assessments of clinical engagement have, until now, been qualitative; this case study in the journal Australian Health Review introduces the concept of quantitative assessment of clinical engagement by measuring the number of patients managed according to specialist society guidelines. Such an assessment engages all staff (medical, nursing, allied health and pharmacy) involved in patients receiving treatment according to such guidelines and provides an assessment of individual and organisational compliance with those guidelines. Clinical engagement is then quantified as the percentage of patients that have been documented to receive specialist society- or college-approved guideline-compliant treatment, relative to the total number who could receive such treatment, in any healthcare organisation.

    This Health Service Journal (HSJ) article explores how executive leaders can drive improvement by focusing on developing an organisational culture, building up staff in an open, just, and empowering environment, thereby enabling organisations to meet the challenges of the new and uncertain healthcare environment.

    A careful planning for a pandemic, like COVID-19, is critical to protecting the health and welfare of entire humanity. Hospitals play a very critical role within the health system in providing essential medical care to the community, particularly during the crisis. But hospitals are complicated and vulnerable institutions, dependent on crucial external support and supply lines. During the current outbreak, an interruption of these critical support services and supplies would potentially disrupt the provision of acute health care by an unprepared health-care facility. Any shortage of critical equipment and supplies could limit access to the needed care and have a direct impact on healthcare delivery and panic could potentially jeopardise established working routines. In such scenario, even a modest rise in admission volume can overwhelm a hospital beyond its functional reserve. Even for a well-prepared hospital, coping with the health consequences of a COVID-19 outbreak would be a complex challenge for sure.   WHO hospital readiness checklist shows the key actions to take in the context of a continuous hospital emergency preparedness process.
