Trainees are invaluable eyes and ears in a hospital setting - #Francis #Juniors

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

Something for junior docs to consider from #Francis: "Trainees are invaluable eyes and ears in a hospital setting." #MidStaffs

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

MT “@markynorth: mentorship is a fundamental part of growing practitioners and not everyone can do it” Agree! Need the best & development

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

MT “@markynorth: everyone has same quals/testing on entry to professions why are they diff for nurses, drs, paramedics etc” -shouldn’t be!

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

MT “@ethicsconsult: spent the day with OUH NHST who are introducing value based interviewing. Is VBI answer to Francis” In part - yes

[Karen Webb @StottieCakes]

@hee_ian but the structures have a bad habit of reproducing the same people. We keep replicating in our image instead of diversifying

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

MT “@chebbes: Easy to say,difficult to do.Look at the Uni selection processes for medicine.Not convinced we get it right.” Totally agree!

[Luke McMenamin @medicluke]

@RCPLondon 'when the going gets tough, the tough get going' we will all improve quality of pt care together through education & innovation!

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

RT @ShaunLintern: Nurses should be present on all ward rounds with doctors - feasible? #Francis” - essential!

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

Francis is right that culture/values are central to solving the issues he outlines. HEE will play its part. #Francis

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

We need to test for values and behaviours when we recruit into the NHS, not just clinical/technical skills. #Francis

[Ian Cumming @hee_ian]

Being a mentor/trainer should be a responsibility and privilege for our very best clinical role models - not another burden for busy staff
