Description
Re-energising the University Hospitals Plymouth Medical Grand Round.From January 2024 I have inspired, initiated and facilitated collaborative working to reinvigorate the long neglected Medical Grand Round in Plymouth with the purpose of improving team working, education and patient safety.
The Medical Grand Round includes intergenerational education (students, doctors in training, senior medical, allied to medicine, and others), to build collaboration from the bottom, and through this both improve safe, effective, efficient patient care, and harness discretionary effort. The benefits include: individual and collaborative medical education; showcasing of local services; opportunities for students and doctors in training to complete portfolios; helping all physicians to be a little more of a generalist; and finding ways of laughing together.
In addition there has been a systematic enabling of physicians to rediscover each other and develop positive relationships.
The Plymouth Medical Grand Round is a work in progress, is still fragile, but is beginning to flourish. Challenges include finding a sustainable attractive space for 200 people to meet, and offering sustainable nutritious co-located food so that colleagues can focus on the education and natural inter colleague conversations, and through all this delivering safer and more sustainable healthcare delivery.
