  • MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS 2 Hospital Staff the People Who Work
    MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS 2 Hospital Staff The people who work in any type of workplace, including hospitals, are called the staff. The medical staff in a British hospital belong to one of four main groups: • A pre-registration house officer (PRHO), or house officer, is a newly graduated doctor in the first year of postgraduate training. After a year, he or she becomes a registered medical practitioner. In the current system of training, the Foundation Programme, the name for these junior doctors is Foundation Year 1 doctor (FYI). • A senior house officer (SHO) is in the second year of postgraduate training. The title is now Foundation Year 2 doctor (FY2), but the old terms senior house officer and SHO are still used. • A specialist registrar (SpR) is a doctor who has completed the Foundation Programme, and is training in one of the medical specialties. There are also some non-training registrars -- doctors who have completed their training but do not wish to specialize yet. • A consultant is a fully qualified specialist. There may also be some associate specialists – senior doctors who do not wish to become consultants. In addition, there is at least one medical (or clinical) director, who is responsible for all of the medical staff. Medical Teams Consultant physicians and surgeons are responsible for a specific number of patients in the hospital. Each consultant has a team of junior doctors to help care for those patients. In many hospitals, there are multidisciplinary teams which consist not only of doctors but also of physiotherapists and other allied health professionals. When patients enter- or are admitted to –hospital, they are usually seen first by one of the junior doctors on the ward where they will receive treatment and care.

  • Are Junior Doctors Competent in Providing Effective Feedback to Medical Students?
    Advances in Medical Education and Practice Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article LETTER Are junior doctors competent in providing effective feedback to medical students? Elliott Yann Ah-kee1 Dear editor Aamir Asif Khan2 Effective feedback is widely recognized as one of the main catalysts for learners to 1Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, North achieve their educational goals and fulfill their potential. Its crucial role in medical Lanarkshire, UK; 2Glasgow Royal education has been well established over many years.1 However, previous studies of Infirmary, Glasgow, Scotland, UK medical student perceptions show that they are dissatisfied with the feedback received from tutors. The key findings were the lack of feedback on medical students’ perfor- mances or inadequate feedback when provided.2,3 In the UK, provisionally registered doctors (foundation doctors in their first year of training following graduation) are expected by the General Medical Council to teach medical students. In addition, they should also “contribute to the appraisal, assessment or review of students and colleagues”.4 One of the main issues expressed by medi- cal students is the lack of feedback as mentioned. Foundation doctors often ask for formal feedback from the medical students they teach in order to collect evidence to fulfill teaching requirements of the training program. However, in many cases, feedback to medical students is not always forthcoming and this can potentially hinder their educational development. In addition, literature on the quality of feedback provided by junior doctors is scarce. This raises an important question: are junior doctors competent in giving effective feedback? As junior doctors with an interest in medical education, we believe that there is a lack of formal training on how to provide effective feedback, within the UK undergraduate curriculum.

  • Enhancing Beneficial Competition in the Health Professions 2004
    Enhancing Beneficial Competition in the Health Professions 2004 The OECD Competition Committee debated Enhancing Beneficial Competition in the Health Professions in October 2004. This document includes an executive summary and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by Mr. Sean Ennis of the OECD, written submissions from Denmark, the European Commission, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States, as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Restrictions on entry into the health professions serve the important purpose of protecting consumers from unqualified health care practitioners. However, sometimes the restrictions go too far. The limits on entry to a profession govern the qualifications and skills of practitioners as well as, occasionally, the quantity and geographic locations of practices. These limits may be excessive, overly restricting competition and raising healthcare costs. Para-professionals and alternative professionals are often unduly restricted in both the types of work that they can perform and in their freedom to operate in an autonomous or semi-autonomous environment. Sometimes these restrictions are created by the professionals with whom the paraprofessionals would partially compete. Health related products, such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids, non-prescription drugs and dentures, are sometimes made unavailable unless consumers have first undergone tests that are not directly related to the provision of the product or unless they purchase products from specific suppliers. Professional associations often introduce rules that govern the commercial behaviour of members but do not protect consumers. Rather, such restrictions raise prices to consumers and increase profits for providers.

  • Impact of Changes on Junior Doctor Rotas and Training
    Impact of changes on junior doctor rotas and training South West Senate: Question-12: Q: Describe the model of the potential impact of changes at CGH on junior doctor supervision, training and rotas and the accreditation of these posts. Engagement with Deanery regarding the full scope of the proposed changes would be helpful to demonstrate given the reference to concerns with surgical trainees Engagement with the Deanery The overarching concerns from trainees are that historically there was a significant imbalance between CGH and GRH in surgical workload and opportunity. This meant less than ideal training experience for surgeons on either side – too much emergency work in GRH to get to theatre and too little surgical experience in CGH for the number of trainees placed there. Part of the aim of the EGS reconfiguration is to better manage the emergency workload and even out the opportunities for specialist surgical experience. The surgical clinical tutor and deanery representative have been in contact with the training programme director for surgery to discuss how we are responding to the concerns raised. Further work is ongoing with the Director of Medical Education, Training programme directors and Clinical Tutors to review the training opportunities that the future configuration of services and will provide. This will then be shared and discussed with the Programme Directors and Heads of School for Medicine and Surgery. General advice from the Deanery: It is important to maintain foundation trainee post numbers across the trust and all the work schedules for posts affected will be reviewed to ensure suitable learning opportunities are still open to them.

  • Patient Relationship: an Analysis of Communication Carol Ellis Ph
    THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION AND HEALTH 2013 / No. 1 The Doctor and Medical Student’s Perspectives of the Doctor-Patient Relationship: An analysis of communication Carol Ellis Ph. D. School of Sociology, University College Dublin, Ireland [email protected]. Abstract This pilot qualitative study of the doctor and medical student’s perspective of the doctor-patient relationship has a specific focus on communication through analysis of their perspectives on communication, limitations, and stresses based on seven semi-structured interviews. The research identified an acceptance of patient empowerment, with homologised relationships, but time limitations hindered addressing the psycho-social issues of the patient. Notably emotional detachment and depersonalisation was favoured by the interviewees as the best mechanism to handle stress. The study identifies that even in the early stages of the life of the doctor the hospital environment causes stress and exhaustion. This highlights the need for alleviation of time pressures within the medical framework and that modern, integrated support and guidance is made available to doctors in order that stress does not impinge on the doctor-patient relationship. Key Words: Doctor-patient relationship, communication, stress, time limitations, depersonalization, empowerment Introduction culturally determined hierarchical biases and each medical In today’s economic climate there is much practitioner’s capacity to negotiate a high pressure working discussion around lack of resources, and as environment. healthcare represents one of the largest expenditures in the world for governments, where the National Communication Health Service (NHS) accounted for just over 8 Patient satisfaction is achieved through the percent of the UK GDP in 2010 and in Ireland the communication behaviours of doctors; their dominance, Health Service Executive (HSE) 9.2 percent (OECD concern about the psycho-social issues of the patient, Health Data 2012).
