For sustainability and to harness ideas from our incredibly talented front line staff, start a JMO/Executive #Wellbeing Committee. Everyone wins...patients, staff, executives, hospital boards, tax payers. Perhaps that should be a new KPI? #bptok Sydney Local Health District NSW Health AMA Media

Almost 50% of one of our most valuable assets (medical staff) affected by #burnout...Any adverse event with similar prevalence and impact on patients would surely trigger a national #quality and #safety enquiry...measurement, investment, solutions needed #bptok

Bethan Richards Sydney Local Health District @JaneJlatimer I originally wrote all BPTs should read this; but that was incomplete. Their mentors & supervisors need to read this as well.

We piloted trial of protected JMO lunch breaks where nurses only page with emergencies b/w 12-1pm. Simplicity of nurses/ward clerks asking JMOs if they’d had lunch made them feel valued. Also pts had their lunch with less interruptions. Win for all! Widespread roll out needed

Why focus on medical staff wellbeing?“1 in 5 of us has had a diagnosis of depression. 1 in 4 has had thoughts of suicide + 1 in 50 has attempted suicide.”Bad for us, bad for our pts. Collaborative, resourced approach with clinical wellness champions needed ericlevi.com/2019/02/06/rch…

These simple solutions do not cost money. Just need senior leadership from medical, nursing, allied health + admin champions to make happen. Culture changes: AMOs not to round over lunch (we should be having lunch too!), nursing staff avoid paging, ask JMOs “have u had lunch?

Thank you to ⁦NSW Health⁩ for helping fund the new version of our successful #BPTOK program. #MDOK is for ALL junior doctors + senior staff will benefit as well! Officially launching at RPA/Balmain soon with #Concord and #Canterbury hospitals to follow! ⁦Sydney Local Health District⁩

Incredibly honoured to be appointed first Sydney Local Health District Chief Medical Wellness Officer and Director, SLHD WellMD Centre.

Changing Workplace and Organisational culture can only happen with #leadership from the very top. This is a wonderful example of how a simple gesture from a CE can set the tone and make front line staff feel... facebook.com/20442066674271…
