Amazing talk by @HumanFact0rz at #SMACC about how to be the contagion for Psychology Safety. One emphasis was on clinical event debriefing. Here is a breakdown clinical debriefing from @symon_ben

Amazing. Kick ass. Wow. #smacc

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

Don’t be held back by slides says @SocraticEM and delivers today’s talk without a PowerPoint. You know where I was looking? At her. Not the screen. I was engaged. My two cents - use slides *wisely* as *you* are imparting the knowledge not slides, which is why you’re there. #SMACC

“Looking forward to not having these gender debates ever again” - @LizCrowe2

Fully agree. False dichotomy.

#smacc is a community.

SMACC is not because we’re cool. It’s because we care.

We care about good commmunication, good teaching methods, good teamwork, good airway technique, good evidence, good emotions, good words, good advocacy, good fun, etc. @smaccteam

When trying to change someone’s mind, you have to make things personal. You have to explain why it matters to them #SMACC

We judge ourselves by our intention, not our impact. Peer review is a tool to show us a different viewpoint. #SMACC

Debriefing after challenging situations can maintain and improve relationships. Hot debrief needs to focus on safety: systems and people (psychological safety) #SMACC

[Chris Gray @cgraydoc]

When the team is forming in bits and pieces it's essential that you make people feel welcome and safe when entering into that challenging environment.

[Dr Bec Szabo @inquisitiveGyn]

Let ti challenging team behaviour is psychological safety, it’s key to safety and teams and incredibly elusive. Half the time ICU teams think they don’t have enough psychological safety to care for patients. Wow. #smacc

[Bubbly Activist Junior Doc 🌈 @jaz_medicine]

If you are punished for answering a question, then you aren’t going to ask a question the next time. This is toxic and dangerous for patient safety #SMACC

Conversations build culture.

Perhaps we should be deliberately having more conversations with our colleagues from other disciplines to build bridges. (Make sure content is mutually respectful as well.)

Be prepared for variable engagement though.

Be flexible, adaptable and humble.
Don't have a fixed idea of what you want to do, or go in with western superiority.
Go for a good period of time.
