We’ve not had much sunshine ☀️ Find glimmers of light in boundaries, self discipline & self care

🚨 A #PatientSafetyAlert has been issued with @Assoc_Anaes, @RCoANews & Safe Anaesthesia Liaison Group, instructing NHS providers to transition to NRFit™ connectors for all intrathecal and epidural procedures, and delivery of regional blocks by Jan 25 🔗 ow.ly/RAgU50Qxcye

Obstetric cardiac arrest Let’s look at the big picture…. So among 355,000 obstetric anaesthetic interventions in a year in UK (delivered to approximately 50% of all births & at all times of day and night almost exclusively in the NHS) Incidence of obstetric cardiac arrest -Epidural for labour 1 in 56,500 - any anaesthesia for LSCS 1 in 8,500 -All epidurals & spinals 1 in 17,000 -all GAs 1 in 1,200 These fall into ‘big data’ They are no substitute for an RCT in assessing safety (except no such RCT exists or is likely to) There will clearly be confounding by intention (the very highest risk cases more likely to have GA) …..but they do provide welcome evidence of the absolute safety of obstetric epidurals& spinals (& possibly relative safety compared to GA…) I think a credit to UK obstetric anaesthesia & wider surgical & midwifery teams. …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/an…

I love authentic leadership It’s about being real, honest & being true to your values. Not about authority or pleasing your senior leaders You are just you, are consistent and not playing a role You make personal connections with others, lead from the heart & are honest

When I think back over my own career, the times when I felt I could do my best work & was most supported, was when I had an affirming leader. Sincere words of affirmation don't take much effort & have a disproportionate impact on people’s self-esteem. As leaders, we should never underestimate the power of our own influence. People never forget the impact of lifting, affirming words: cambridgenetwork.co.uk/blog/power-aff…. Via @CambNetwork Graphic: @hacking_hr

Radical alternatives to the UK health and care system are often discussed by the media. But what are the differences between private pay, self insurance & hypothecation? We've weighed up the potential pros and cons of these alternatives in our long read. kingsfund.org.uk/publications/n…

Five principles for developing improvement approaches across a system that create the conditions for effective and sustainable change: 1) Define scope and goals together. 2) Build relationships and trust. 3) See diverse expertise as an asset. 4) Develop shared system leadership. 5) Use an improvement mindset. q.health.org.uk/about/local-sy… By @theQCommunity @HealthFdn @NHSConfed

A literature review commissioned by the @CareQualityComm on improvement culture in health and care settings. Overall, the review identified multiple positive outcomes associated with a "good" improvement culture including: 1) Increased responsiveness of services 2) Shorter waiting times 3) Better staff retention & lower use of agency staff 4) Better quality of care 5) Lower mortality rates 6) Treating people who use services with more dignity and respect 7) Improved staff morale and motivation 8) Increased collaboration between services 9) Better ratings from regulators 10) Improved financial outcomes ie, many reasons why we should prioritise the so-called "soft stuff", combined with an improvement methodology: cqc.org.uk/sites/default/….

I was a doctor. Burnout broke me. I left medicine. I retrained as a primary teacher. As medics we know nothing else. The jargon, the environment, the culture... It becomes us. However, we have a multitude of transferrable skills. Here are my top 5: 🧵👇
