Clinical Research Jobs’ Post

Every #July, teaching hospitals across the country welcome a new cohort of medical residents. While this influx of fresh talent brings energy and enthusiasm, it also poses significant challenges to patient safety. As a Legal Nurse Consultant, I’ve seen how this transitional period, often referred to as the "July Effect," can impact patient outcomes. Key Concerns: * Increased Mortality Rates: Studies have shown that the "July Effect" is associated with a temporary increase in hospital mortality rates. A study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found that mortality rates increase by 8% in teaching hospitals during July when new residents begin their training. * Medical Errors: The rate of medical errors also tends to spike during this period. Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research indicates a 10% rise in medication errors during the first month of residency training, contributing to patient safety concerns. * Longer Hospital Stays: New residents' inexperience can lead to longer hospital stays for patients. According to a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the average length of stay increases by about 4% in July, which can contribute to higher healthcare costs and increased risk of hospital-acquired infections. Understanding and addressing the risks associated with the arrival of new residents in July is crucial for maintaining high standards of patient care and safety.

FROM HOSPITAL FLOORS TO RESEARCH FRONTIER. The past one month has been an exciting transition from a bedside nurse to a senior field officer in a reputable research organisation. I want to share my journey so far,after taking the bold steps to venture beyond the familiar confines of hospital corridors into research,a journey filled with profound transformation and experience. 1.BECOMING A TRAVELER The transition requires courage, resilience and willingness to embrace change from the familiar hospital routines to navigating the dynamics of research.Unlike in a hospital setup where work is 90% confined in one environment(the hospital),the same percentage for research field work entails travelling to different areas for data collection.I am learning the importance of packing a bag pack with essentials needed while in the field,such as carrying a water bottle to prevent dehydration,having a mask and headscarf 😃 for protection in dusty roads,or raincoat for the unpredictable weather. 2.SLOW DOWN,PLEASE! I was accustomed to emergencies at the hospital,always being on toes while carrying out patient care,then shifting to a slower pace in research process in the field where I also go to work,with less anxiety about the days outcome and just focus on meeting the daily target. 3.WORK-LIFE BALANCE One thing that is noticeable is that I am able to have rest days where there's adequate time to relax,spend time with family,enjoy a sport or two or spend time on my own to develop a skill.Then again,I get to enjoy holidays as well as go to church for spiritual nourishment. 4.PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Transitioning to Senior Field Officer role requires acquiring new skills and competencies related to research methodologies,data analysis,managing project work schedules and leading a team of field officers.So am learning to be open to new ideas,having a teachable spirit, and embracing innovation by seeking mentorship from senior colleagues. 5.NETWORKING Building relationships and network with colleagues within the research community as well as other Non Governmental Organisations, is expanding my professional network and am also gaining insights from experts in the field. CONCLUSION All in all, despite the difference between hospital setup and field work,working as a Senior Field Officer has offered me an opportunity for personal growth and intellectual stimulation.It is a testament to the indomitable spirit of nurses who dare to dream and go forth seeking knowledge and experience beyond the hospital corridors.I am looking forward to more discoveries and increase in knowledge and work experience.

The impact of workforce shortages in healthcare is set to worsen as an ageing population, more chronic disease and a workforce that feels increasingly fatigued, put further strain on the system. Nous Principal Dr Paul Eleftheriou has co-authored a piece in the Medical Journal of Australia exploring how the Clinical Assistant program (i.e. paid medical students), launched during the pandemic, can help alleviate pressure on the system, support the learning of our future medical workforce and support more sustainable outcomes. Check out the article to learn more.

Time For a Serious Discussion About Health Care Professional Shortages! Medical and health workforce shortages are a pressing issue not only in Australia but also globally. While attracting skilled medical and health migrants remains a common strategy, it's evident that this approach alone is insufficient, given that many countries are facing similar challenges. One promising solution is to address the bottleneck in workforce supply by increasing placements in Australian universities and potentially expanding access to other medical and new courses. By investing in education and training domestically, we can cultivate a sustainable pipeline of healthcare professionals to meet growing demands. A case in point is the United Kingdom, where medical leaders have raised concerns about the government's plan to boost medical school places. Despite pledges to double medical school admissions by 2031-32, recent funding approvals have fallen short, with only 350 additional places funded for the 2025-26 academic year. Moreover, the absence of new capital funding further hampers efforts to expand medical education capacity. To effectively address workforce shortages, governments must prioritise sustained investments in medical education infrastructure, scholarships, and incentives to attract students to healthcare professions. Additionally, fostering collaboration between academia, healthcare providers, health organisations and policymakers can facilitate innovative approaches to training and workforce development. By taking proactive measures to bolster domestic workforce capacity, we can build a resilient healthcare system capable of meeting the evolving needs of our communities.

👋🌟ATTN: Doctors, Nurses, Medical Professionals: Please consider clinical trials as an option for your patients!🌟 Last night while I was at an event in Philadelphia, a conversation I was participating in had included the mention of a medical condition the person’s mother is experiencing, which is continuing to worsen. With a sense of disappointment and despair, it was stated the mother’s doctors tried everything. ✨✨✨My response is something I have done countless times at a wide variety of locations and settings with countless people from all walks of life. I had asked, “Did her doctor’s consider clinical trials?,” to which the response was, “no.” I asked the person to take out their cell phone, open clinicaltrials.gov then showed them how to navigate the main menu to find options to discuss with the mother’s doctors and for them to complete outreach to the per-study CRCs directly. The person expressed gratitude and new hope.✨✨✨ 😳😳😳 In my 18 year career, I had helped bring 5 pharmaceutics to market that extended the duration and improved the quality of lives. It is frustrating when I hear patients and/or their caregiver(s) say a clinical trial was never mentioned to them as an option. I cannot count the amount of times I’ve had this same discussion. ✨I understand clinical trials are not an option for every patient. ✨I understand every patient and/or their caregiver(s) may not be interested in clinical trials. ✨I ALSO understand clinical trials are a necessary, critical part of advancing science and medicine. ✨I also understand, a patient’s participation in a clinical trial (where they meet the I/E) may be the best option for them (even though it is experimental) and the patient may receive better medical care as a clinical trial participant. 👍Thank you to all of the medical staff who consider and/or present clinical trials as an option and to all of the patients and their caregivers who volunteer to participate. 👍 #clinicaltrialsmatter #oncologyclinicaltrials #patientcentriconcologyclinicaltrials #patientcentriconcologytrials #considerclinicaltrials #clinicalresearchmatters #letsdobetter #patientcentricity
