HSPN UK & Ireland Conference 2021

 

Poster Presentation:  Sue Claypole presented SuppoRTT Doctors Returning to Training Human Factors & Communication Course. 

The SuppoRTT Human Factors and Communication course is a one day course and provides a safe environment for doctors returning to practice to improve their confidence in breaking significant news, dealing with conflict and develop their understanding of the importance of human factors within a healthcare setting.  Health Education England recognises that postgraduate medical trainees require flexibility within their career pathway - a "step on-step off" approach.  Enhancing working lives and building upon this flexible approach, supports the trainee both personally and professionally and will hopefully enrich the quality of patient care.

HSPN UK & Ireland Conference 2021

 

Poster Presentation:  Sue Claypole presented SuppoRTT Doctors Returning to Training Skills and Simulation Course. 

Returning to practice can be a challenging prospect and The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) had significant concerns in connection with the lack of direction for doctors returning to practice.  Following The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service, Junior Doctor's Working Lives it was recommended that Health Education England's local teams should develop and implement training programmes which would ensure a safe and effective return to learning and practice.  HEE Yorkshire & the Humber in partnership with the Montagu Clinical Simulation Centre (MCSC) developed the SuppoRTT skills and simulation course which is one of a suite of courses that supports trainees returning back into clinical practice, safely and confidently, after a sustained period of absence.
