It is associated with poorer outcomes, including increasing mortality, morbidity and prolonged hospital stay. It is often poorly recognised and under diagnosed.Setting: An urban district general hospital.Intervention: A steering group was set up and used 'plan, do, study, act' methodology to develop a diagnostic pathway and educational programme for all staff working with patients admitted with neck of femur fracture.Results: There was an increase in the multidisciplinary teams use of the 4AT delirium screening tool by 26% (p=0.0008). Staff surveys indicated an increase in the knowledge of delirium and confidence at explaining it to patients.Discussion: By increasing staff confidence and use of recognised screening tools it is hoped that accurate diagnosis of this perioperative complication is improved, leading to improved management of these complex patients.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"215-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6798014/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41672291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this process, from speaking to NHS workers and from the evidence submitted to the inquiry, he found that staff had tried to speak up about their concerns, but that they had been ignored, or victimised as a result. This experience was not confined to Mid Staffordshire and a further report, Freedom to speak up, was commissioned. Freedom to speak up made two recommendations, which were accepted by all NHS organisations and the Department of Health. The report included principles and actions about the culture and practice in the NHS, the appointment of freedom to speak up guardians in NHS trusts and foundation trusts and a national guardian to lead this network, undertake case reviews and provide support and challenge to the system. In this article, I will describe the work of freedom to speak up guardians and the National Guardian's Office, the impact of these on workers in NHS trusts and other organisations, and the next steps in the journey to make speaking up business as usual.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"186-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6798024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42190180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is reflected in the balance of speakers, chairs and panels convened for healthcare conferences, with disproportionate gender balance. Accumulating evidence suggests that greater diversity across multiple characteristics, including gender, improves staff experience, organisational performance and patient outcomes. Conferences provide opportunities for inclusivity and new ideas only when attendees feel empowered to speak up. If we are to increase diversity of our current leadership, aspiring leaders need to see relatable role models. This article explores the issue of 'manels' and male-dominated speaker lineups, offering practical suggestions for conference organisers, women speakers and male allies to address the issue. We also outline the background to 'Women Speakers in Healthcare': a grassroots initiative founded by a team of aspiring leaders, which aims to achieve balanced gender representation at all healthcare conferences and events.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"167-171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6798017/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45208158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Core teaching in a module for third-year undergraduate medical students was based around a 1-week course comprising 32 hours of lectures. Feedback suggested that students were poorly engaged and attendance was poor.Objectives: To develop and evaluate a programme of learning for medical students using flipped learning.Methods: Core lectures were videoed and students were advised to watch online at home in the morning prior to a case-based interactive discussion session in the afternoon. Feedback was undertaken prior to and following change in delivery; changes in Likert scale feedback were assessed. Thematic assessment of free-text feedback was undertaken. Results of in-course assessment examinations were compared prior to and following change in delivery.Results: Student feedback showed a significant improvement in satisfaction with flipped learning compared to standard lectures, both in scores and free-text feedback. Results of in-course assessments did not change between the two methods of delivery.Conclusions: Flipped learning can improve student satisfaction and engagement with teaching, but our study has not demonstrated an improvement in assessment scores.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"192-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6798025/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44064418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This significant consultation demands prioritisation and trauma-informed expertise. As well as addressing immediate healthcare needs and safety, the complex sequelae of modern slavery must be considered. Victims are encountering healthcare services. Yet healthcare professionals don't feel equipped to recognise the signs or know what questions to ask, while key gaps within the healthcare service prevent these patients receiving the support they need. At all levels of professional development, the practice of safeguarding is not prioritised. This is due to lack of effective training and emphasis on softer communication and safeguarding skills. Simulation training provides a safe, educational environment to build confidence and practice conducting these challenging, complex consultations. Safeguarding leads, who receive these referrals from frontline staff, should be equipped to understand the complexity of modern slavery and the strengths and weaknesses of the support services available. Finally, healthcare professionals must be involved in shaping the wider national survivor-focused response to modern slavery.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"164-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6798016/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45266752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have tested the hypothesis that the provision of the cost of common blood tests with their results may modify subsequent demand for blood assays.Methods: The study design was a prospective controlled intervention study. The individual and annual institutional cost of full blood count (FBC), urea and electrolytes (U&E) and liver function test (LFT) blood assays were added to the electronic results system for inpatients at the intervention teaching hospital, but not the control hospital.Results: In the 12 months after the intervention was implemented, demand for FBC dropped by 3% (95% confidence interval (CI) 1-5; p<0.001), U&E by 2% (95% CI 0-4; p=0.054) and there was no change in demand for LFT compared to the control institution.Conclusions: Providing cost feedback to clinicians for commonly used blood tests is a viable intervention that is associated with small reductions in demand for some, but not all blood assays. As this is an easily scalable approach, this has potential to enable efficient healthcare delivery, while also minimising the morbidity experienced by the patient.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"204-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6798021/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45201402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research sought to establish what educational support junior doctors needed to effectively raise clinical and professional concerns.Study design: A qualitative study with 16 participants taking part in three focus groups. The transcripts were thematically analysed.Results: All the data could be coded into four themes: past experiences of teaching; suggested teaching; reporting mechanisms and educational challenges. Most participants were dissatisfied with the teaching they had received on raising concerns. Current systems were thought to be good for raising patient safety issues but not for concerns about professional behaviour of healthcare staff.Conclusions: There is a need for improved education to tackle the way this is taught in postgraduate curricula. Frequent rotations and a lack of meaningful relationships left junior doctors feeling less invested in improving organisational culture. Junior doctors are apprehensive about raising concerns because of personal risk to their career trajectory.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"156-161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6798013/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41708882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
