The BMJ Podcast ·

2020/04/08

Wellbeing might not seem the obvious place to talk about PPE - but lack of appropriate PPE is causing healthcare staff a great deal of stress now. Mary Brindle is a pediatric surgeon and the director of The EQuIS (Efficiency Quality Innovation and Safety) Research platform at Alberta Children’s hospital. In this podcast she reflects on the use of PPE, talks a little about the culture of it - and how overuse by one person can amply the concerns of others, the effect on patients of seeing their

WHO's response to covid-19

The BMJ Podcast ·

2020/04/05

We knew a pandemic was coming at some point - it’s kind of why we have the WHO. We have had various smaller scale tests of the international response to an infectious disease outbreak - Ebola in west africa being the most recent. After that, reports criticised the WHO's response - citing problems around the swiftness of their action, the lack of coordination between countries, and the platforms for knowledge sharing. Is the agency doing any better in Covid-19? Suerie Moon is co-director of the

Organisational kindness during covid-19

Reports from Italy, and more recently from the U.S. show the strain the healthcare system is under during this pandemic. We know that staff will step up in an emergency, but this isn’t a fire or a bombing, this is going to last for months. So how can organisations be proactive in supporting staff, and how can leaders try to mitigate the inevitable burnout. In this podcast, Michael West, professor of organisational psychology at Lancaster university, and author of the GMC report “Caring for

The BMJ Podcast ·

2020/03/12

We all know we should be doing more exercise, and one way to do that is by active commuting - journeying to work on foot or by bike. One thing preventing people from taking up cycling is the fear of being involved in road traffic accidents, and that the risk isn't worth the benefit of the extra exercise. It’s even more confusing when air pollution has to be taken into account. Joining us to discuss new research into that risk/benefit calculation are Paul Welsh, a Senior Lecturer, and Carlos

Why we are failing patients with multimorbidity

The BMJ Podcast ·

2020/03/05

We know that the number of people living with multiple health conditions is rising year on year, and yet training, guidelines, organisations and physical spaces in healthcare still largely focus on single diseases or organ systems. The means that patients in the NHS are often treated as if their conditions exist in isolation, and that their care lacks coordination, and isn't as good as it should be. To look at why patients with multiple conditions pose a challenge to the NHS, and what we can do to

We're taking a break from the usual Talk Evidence to focus on the new corona virus that has emerged in China.

There comes a tipping point in all campaigns when the evidence is overwhelming and the only way to proceed is with action. According to David Williams, it’s time to tackle the disproportionate effects of race on patients in the UK. David Williams, from Harvard University, developed the Everyday Discrimination Scale that, in 1997, launched a new scientific approach to assessing social influences, such as racism, on health. He’s shown that people who experience every day acts of discrimination—

In many countries (including the UK and Australia) it is still common practice for hospital doctors to write letters to patients’ general practitioners (GPs) following outpatient consultations, and for patients to receive copies of these letters. However, Hugh Rayner, consultant nephrologist, and Peter Rees, former Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges' lay patient committee, suggest that hospital doctors who have changed their practice to include writing letters directly to patients have

In October 2019, Mary Dixon-Woods, director of the THIS Institute, dedicated to healthcare improvement. In that she explained how she believed healthcare improvement could be improved. The essay took the position that "Quality Improvement" isn't necessarily the best way to improve healthcare, and that more rigour needs to be brought to the field. That paper has created a great deal of discussion, so in this podcast we wanted to go back to Mary and ask her what she thinks about improvement, and
