NHS sets out measures to improve the working lives of doctors In a huge push to improve the lives of tens of thousands of postgraduate doctors, NHS England is pledging to enhance choice and flexibility with rotas, while reducing payroll errors and the financial burden of course fees. Postgraduate doctors in training, who make up more than 50,000 NHS staff, move between trusts at least twice each year during their training years after university. This can mean finding out new work schedules at short notice and duplication of inductions when starting work at a new hospital. As part of the NHS’s long term workforce plan ambition to support and retain staff, the NHS will outline its commitment to make doctors lives easier by working with partners to consider how it can improve the experience of rotations in postgraduate training. In a letter from NHS leaders today, the health service is also announcing it will carry out a review of the minimum legal requirements for statutory and mandatory training so that staff can spend less time on admin and inductions and more time caring for patients. This review could see the time burden for such training halved, with plans to lengthen the refresher period between retaking these training modules. Doctors are currently legally required to complete 11 statutory and mandatory training courses every year, but the NHS England review which is due to be completed by August 2024, will determine which staff groups and roles are required to complete each mandatory training module. Cutting the amount of training that NHS staff need to complete could free up to one day a year for each doctor. To reduce the administrative burden on doctors the NHS will also ask trusts to adopt a national training framework and an eLearning online training portal which will ensure mandatory training is completed and reported consistently. This new system will mean doctors will no longer need to repeat mandatory training when moving between hospitals. The system for paying course fees will also be reversed so that the NHS, rather than the trainee, pays them upfront; avoiding the hardship caused by waiting for reimbursement. NHS England will also be ensuring trusts are meeting requirements to provide choice and flexibility with rotas, and exploring the opportunities technology offers to enable greater self-rostering so doctors have more control over their lives while meeting the needs of the service. While employers will be asked to pay specific attention to payroll accuracy for their staff, particularly for doctors in training because rotations and cost of training can make payroll errors more frequent.

An NHS England report on "NHS Productivity" in May 2024 highlights the growing % of NHS staff who are new/inexperienced as a barrier to productivity & the need to get them up the learning curve faster.  New research suggests one catalyst for learning that is often lacking at this critical early career stage: psychological safety (PS). PS is needed for people to learn, collaborate & perform at work. People lose their sense of PS when they start a new job & it can take years to recover. However, departments with high PS reduce that decline & facilitate recovery: https://lnkd.in/eYhXhGwv. By Derrick Bransby Michaela Kerrissey & Amy Edmondson

Having worked in both high and low psychological safety environments, I can attest to this. Nothing will affect my performance (and my levels of anxiety!!) more than the fear of what will happen if something goes wrong. All members of a team should be able to speak freely and honestly, and have space to try new things and make mistakes without fear of intense repercussions. The difference it can make to overall performance is amazing. #psychologicalsafety #productivity #careerdevelopment

Psychological safety in healthcare is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes. When team members feel safe to voice ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes without fear, it fosters a culture of transparency and continuous improvement. This environment encourages reporting and learning from errors, significantly reducing medical mistakes and enhancing patient safety. Open communication and interdisciplinary collaboration are key benefits of psychological safety, ensuring that patient care is comprehensive and coordinated. Additionally, when healthcare providers experience reduced burnout and increased job satisfaction, they deliver better patient interactions and higher-quality care. The impact on patient outcomes is profound. Reduced medical errors, improved patient safety, higher patient satisfaction, and better clinical results are achievable in a psychologically safe environment. While creating and maintaining this culture requires a dedicated effort and strong leadership, the benefits for patient care are invaluable. #Healthcare #PatientSafety #PsychologicalSafety #Teamwork #PatientCare #HealthcareLeadership #nhswales #valuebasedhealthcare #proms #quadrupleaim #ahealthierwales

Let’s talk about #unifiedagainstviolence This is a core concept that we focus on at #TACTBook. The only way forward is together. Stop silowing workplace violence training. Stop relying on security alone to do it all. Stop leaving security out of it all. Stop leaving clinical instructors out in the dust. Stop implementing expensive tech without making it a training and HR effort. Stop blaming administration for large cultural and systemic issues that cause violence increases in our patient populations. Stop blaming bedside nurses for being stressed the F out. Start educating together. Start working together. Start encouraging one another. #togetherforchange #safertogether #healthcareinnovation #tactbook

The NHS’s most valuable resource is its people. They are critical to the delivery of safe and effective patient care. Most of the time, care received by patients in the NHS is safe. Sometimes, even with our best intentions, things can go wrong. When things go wrong, support, care and understanding for everyone involved must be a priority. This ‘Just and learning culture charter’, from our #BeingFair2 report, outlines the key features of a safe and fair workplace. We hope this charter will be a resource that organisations in the NHS system will adopt and use as a tool for supporting a consistent approach towards its staff in relation to incidents and errors.

Investing in Care Home Staff Training 🏥 In the ever-evolving care home sector, ongoing education and training for staff are crucial. With an ageing population, the demand for skilled care workers in the UK is higher than ever. Ensuring that our care home staff are well-trained not only improves the quality of care but also boosts staff morale and retention. Continuous professional development (CPD) is key. By offering regular training sessions, workshops, and online courses, companies can keep our staff updated on the latest care techniques and regulations. This not only enhances their skills but also ensures compliance with industry standards. According to Skills for Care, care homes that invest in staff training see a 23% reduction in staff turnover rates. Let's prioritise care home staff's growth and development.
