Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
New responsibilities for doctors regarding their use of social media and tackling toxic workplace behaviours and sexual harassment are among key proposals in the General Medical Council’s (GMC) planned update to its core ethical guidance.

This represents the first major update of the guidance since it first came into effect in April 2013, with the review process launched last year.- Posted

The probe at University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust was prompted by a survey carried out last year by the British Associations of Physicians of Indian Origin, after concerns were raised by its members. The review was undertaken by Birmingham-based equalities charity Brap, and Roger Kline, a research fellow at Middlesex University Business School.

Sajid Javid: Doctors too often ‘ignore’ women’s pain
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
Doctors too often "ignore" women's pain, Sajid Javid said as he called for change in the wake of the Shrewsbury maternity scandal. Writing for The Telegraph, the Health Secretary said the wider NHS needed to do much more to listen to women, adding that too many are left in pain and ignored by clinicians. On Wednesday, the Ockenden report revealed that the deaths of 201 babies and nine mothers at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust could have been avoided, citing a failure to listen to women. Mr Javid wrote: "This week we have seen the tragic reality of what can happen when women's -

Doctor's bid to be removed from register rejected
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
A doctor's bid to be voluntarily removed from the medical register on health grounds has been rejected. It means Dr Heather Steen, who is accused of failings following the death of Claire Roberts in 1996, will still face a fitness to practice tribunal. The tribunal would have been halted if she had been removed from the register, as she would no longer have been a doctor. Claire Roberts died at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, where Dr Steen worked, in October 1996. The nine-year-old's death was examined as part of the hyponatraemia inquiry. Her father Ala- Posted

Employers should take active and explicit steps to protect their staff from abuse, harassment, and unlawful discrimination. This should involve the police and social services where appropriate. The impact of discrimination on doctors should be acknowledged and appropriate support including wellbeing interventions provided for those who are on the receiving end of abuse and discriminatory behaviours. -

Medical records contain a plethora of information, from a patient’s diagnoses and treatments to marital status to drinking and exercise habits. They also note whether a patient has followed medical advice.
