Dr Tara Keogh looks at how resident doctors can try to implement change and make meaningful contributions while training.
It is not an understatement to say that resident doctors in training often face significant challenges when attempting to implement change initiatives. As they rotate through multiple hospitals, they may struggle to establish rapport and trust with established staff, making it difficult to garner support for new ideas.
The fast-paced environment, heavy workload and burden of exams and portfolio, can leave little time for trainees to engage in the necessary discussions or meetings to advocate for change. Additionally, the hierarchical structure of medical training can inhibit resident doctors from voicing their ideas as they may not feel respected enough to have influence.
‘Safety and Quality Improvement’ is one of the generic professional domains throughout the anaesthetic training programme. Trainees are expected to conduct local quality-improvement projects, in addition to participation in regional or national projects.
Intensivists and anaesthetists were vital to the Covid-19 response. We hope our involvement has demonstrated to the Inquiry the vital role our members played.
Jenny Westaway, Chair, PatientsVoices@RCoA discusses Martha's Rule and how brave families campaigning for change can make all the difference.
It’s a sad truth that necessary change sometimes only comes in the aftermath of something going terribly wrong.
When I see a family that has suffered a tragedy calling for change – and it often seems to be a family campaign that makes the difference – I find myself in awe of their courage. Stephen Lawrence’s family working for a more equitable society, Molly Russell’s family calling for greater online safety and support for young people, Natasha Ednan-Laperouse’s family campaigning for better food labelling to protect allergies. I also wish that they’d never had to find themselves in that position.
