Dear Trainees and Trainers,
Thank you for completing the Serious Incident (SI) experience and management questionnaire. I am an ST6 in Respiratory Medicine currently working as a Medical Education Fellow for North West London Local office. One of my tasks is to evaluate the SI management process and subsequent experience across Health Education England (HEE). This project aims to help generate a more standardised and transparent approach for SI management where trainees are involved with an emphasis on maximising education and training opportunities. We know that currently there is often inconsistency generated by variation in local policies, local interpretations, perceptions of what constitutes an SI and what constitutes appropriate methods of escalation. Through this questionnaire we hope to gain insight into current experiences of postgraduate medical trainees in adverse event management across England. The vision is to use feedback from questionnaires circulated across trainees and trainers from all of HEE’s 13 local offices to gauge similarity and diversity in actual experience, for both the trainee and their trainer. The greater the number of responders the more useful the feedback and as such your participation is greatly appreciated. Any feedback will be anonymised aside which area the feedback was received from. **The questionnaire should take less than 5 minutes**

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has published Fair care for trans people: an RCN guide for nursing and health care professionals. This resource is designed to help nursing and care staff to respond to the needs of patients and clients who identify as ‘transgender’. The nursing community can, through its professional actions and interests, work to eliminate and significantly reduce prejudice and discrimination at both an individual and a societal level in partnership with a range of organisations, including those that represent the needs of trans people.
We have developed a range of information and tools to support you to train your staff in end-of-life care.
On our new end-of-life care web pages you’ll find:
We will be regularly updating these web pages with new resources in the coming weeks. A social media campaign kickstarted by NHS Employers to show appreciation for EU staff in the NHS, has been warmly received across the NHS and gained national media coverage over the weekend.
Using the hashtag #LoveOurEUstaff, our chief executive Danny Mortimer encouraged the NHS workforce to ensure that our staff from elsewhere in the EU know that they are valued and welcome, to help allay any concerns that might have been brought by the public vote to leave the EU. The campaign gathered momentum rapidly after the first tweet on Friday afternoon (24 June), and was soon trending on Twitter. Between Friday and Monday the story was featured in the Evening Standard, Metro and on Buzzfeed. See what people are saying and join the conversation on Twitter #LoveOurEUStaff |
