On this week's episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Kerryn Price. "Hi, my name is Kerryn Price, I currently work in the charity sector as an Internal Auditor & Risk Manager. Prior to this role I worked in the NHS for 14 years in various roles within Clinical Governance and Lloyds Banking Group before this for 7 years. My leadership journey started when I was working for Lloyds Banking Group, however I didn't appreciate this at the time; mainly because ‘leadership' wasn't known in the same way as is it now and the learning was not there in the same way. I have grown so much in recent years whilst working for the NHS and have felt my leadership journey go from strength to strength particularly since graduating from Lancaster University in December 2021 having completed a Msc in Senior Leadership. I am very grateful for the experiences I have had (good and bad!) and look forward to continuing to learn and grow as I progress through my career."

You have heard the term, 'clinical governance' before but not fully understood what it means. However, clinical governance is an increasing area of focus for pharmacies.   Clinical governance is also a focus of the Guild. A key component of the Guild's Centenary Strategic Plan is to prioritise and enhance the quality and safety of pharmacy services and clinical governance forms a key part of this.   Clinical governance is highly important in every pharmacy, and our aim today is to understand a little more about what it is, why it's important, and step through it in a simple way to help you ensure you have good governance in your pharmacy.   Who better to take us through it all than Claire Bekema, and Chloe Hennessy from the Pharmacy Guild. Claire Bekema is a Guild Senior Pharmacist with experience and expertise in quality improvement, accreditation, and clinical governance.    Chloe Hennessy is the Guild Director, Clinical Governance & Quality, and has over 15 years experience in pharmacy accreditation, quality, and change management and has strong passion for continuous improvement. If you would like more information about clinical governance, contact the Guild via guild.org.au or speak with your local Guild representative. There is also a range of QCPP resources and information available via qcpp.com. Enjoy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode from QI Boxset series one, Pam Mosedale, our QI Clinical Lead, chats with Anne Lawson, PSS Assessor, about how clinical governance and Quality Improvement fit into the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme.   Read the transcript.    Access this podcast as a webinar, and explore the rest of the QI Boxset on RCVS Knowledge's Learn platform.

Meet Francesca Steyn,  Head of Nursing at the CRGH - Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health in London. Francesca is involved with the Sperm, Egg and Embryo Donation (SEED) Trust and she spoke to Kate and I about the ‘minefield' that is surrogacy and how patients considering this option can get the information, guidance and support they need. When we interviewed Francesca she has just been nominated for Surrogacy Professional of the Year 2019 – an accolade she won in 2018, and we are delighted to announce that Francesca has been awarded this again for 2019! Congratulations Francesca! Francesca leads the nursing team at the CRGH but also leads on Clinical Governance and Quality as well as managing the Surrogacy Programme. Francesca has worked in the field of surrogacy for a number of years and has seen huge growth in surrogacy in the UK. Clinics are a lot more aware of surrogacy services then previously. For people considering surrogacy, Francesca recommends finding a clinic that has experience in surrogacy. The HFEA website provides more information on this and the important things to look out for are -  if the clinic has a dedicated surrogacy team, how long have they offered surrogacy,  do they provide open days etc. Legal considerations can be complex but the CRGH have very detailed protocols to follow to make sure that all steps are followed. The SEED Trust provides unbiased and independent support and guidance for anyone considering surrogacy. The website has information and resources for intended parents and donors.  Making the decision to seek surrogacy at home or abroad. Francesca has seen a change in that patients are considering surrogacy in the UK rather than seeking help abroad, mainly because of greater availability in the UK and more support and resources. LGBTQ community has increased since law changes in 2010. There is a huge amount of support for surrogacy among the LBGTQ community from various organisations and networks. More work needs to be done to normalise and raise awareness of surrogacy among the Heterosexual community. Main challenges to overcome when making Modern Families – the need for more awareness and greater funding. Individuals currently need to fund their own treatment and this is a barrier to many people creating their family. Francesca is involved in Fertility Preservation training with the Royal College of Nursing and BICA. In the UK we have a shortage of donors and Francesca urges people who may be considering this to come forward to find out about what's involved in donating.

We know clinical governance is important.  But if you're on the front line of healthcare or aged care  - where it all happens; how does it apply to you? What does it look like when clinical governance goes wrong?  In this episode Pete speaks with Dr Melanie Tan, a legal professional with a background as a medical practitioner who understands the real-world application of clinical governance in aged care and health.   They talk about what clinical governance is, why it's important when it comes to digital health, and how as an industry we can lift our knowledge and awareness when it comes to this important topic.

Andy is an experienced paramedic who predominately worked on search and rescue helicopters, where he encountered many experiences that had a significant effect on his mental health. In this podcast he discusses his journey through PTSD which led him to head up a mental health first aid campaign, Andy's Landie, designed to stamp out the stigma of mental health issues and improve the well-being of those in the emergency services and responder community. Andy talks about his challenges and motivators, and gives really useful information on developing coping strategies and listening skills. He is optimistic that the barriers to discussing mental health are receding – the overall message is its good to talk!

His approach is different, refreshing and unique. He campaigns, speaks and is a Mental Health First Aid instructor. Andy sparks conversations which enables culture change regarding Mental Health and Wellbeing for individuals and organisations. He creates safety and trust by sharing his own vulnerability and gives a unique ‘behind the scenes' insight into life and death situations on Search and Rescue helicopters, on the Afghanistan battlefields during military service and to the potential downward spirals due to 21st Century pressures. Andy has a male focus and believes that mental health deserves parity with physical health. His unique approach to communicating with men is driven by the fact that men are three times more likely than women to end their life by suicide. After 18 years working on rescue helicopters around the world, he believes that focusing on mental health will save more lives than continuing to dangle under helicopters, as a paramedic. Andy's Search and Rescue career began with the Royal Air Force and was completed in the Coastguard, where he led Clinical Governance for half of the UK. Despite Andy's various awards for physical courage, he believes his bravest action has been to talk openly about his own struggles and vulnerability, in order to find a way through three very different challenges during his lifetime. Andy brings people together by normalising the conversation and encouraging others to join his eye-catching campaigns, such as #itsoktotalk ‘Big22' video (45,000 views), founding #MenDoLunchDay 2018, & driving his 1973 Land Rover around Northern England and Scotland promoting a Wellbeing and Resilience Framework for a national organisation. (A short film of this tour will be released 2020). Future projects include ‘Chinwag Curry Club' & retreats for men. Since HRH Duke of Cambridge attended Andy's Mental Health workshop, at the UK Search and Rescue National Conference in 2018, he has been engaged as a speaker by organisations such as University of Cambridge Medical School; Jacobs (construction industry); Scottish Mountain Rescue; Emergency Services Show (NEC) and Mind Blue Light Programme. Other interests: College of Paramedics National Mental Health & Wellbeing Steering group; Human Factors training to provide increased safety & efficiency, from the aviation industry into a healthcare setting; delivering face-to-face and online medical training for responders treating civilian casualties in the Syrian crisis.

This is the third and final part of our series on gendered medicine. We step back and look at the way that health care and research are funded. It’s been said that the health needs of women are undervalued by our existing fee-for-service model, down to individual item numbers in the Medicare Benefits Schedule. There’s also evidence that disease predominantly experienced by female patients receive less research investment. Is this blatant sexism or a symptom of other structural imbalance?

We know that compassion and alleviating pain and symptoms generally feature high on consumers’ wish lists. But do healthcare providers feel that the latter is more useful than the former?

In this masterclass with A/Prof Ong, we discuss the fundamentals of leadership and mentorship.BIOA/Prof Ong Biauw Chi is Senior Consultant at Singapore General Hospital Department of Anaesthesiology. She was the Head of Anaesthesiology, SGH from 2009 till 2014 and the Director of Patient Safety and Director of Clinical Governance in Singapore General Hospital for a period of 9 years. She is also appointed Chairman Medical Board, Sengkang Health.A/Prof Ong’s work has been recognised with the Public Administration Silver Medal in the National Day Awards, 2013 and the National Medical Excellence award for National Outstanding Clinical Quality Activist in 2014.A/Prof Ong is also a member of the Specialist Training Committee for Anaesthesia (now Residency Advisory Committee) Ministry of Health, Singapore and chairs the Examinations committee for Anaesthesia Examinations in Singapore.3 THINGS I LEARNEDYou need to find the correct partners. In your career, you need to get the right people who will help you get better. People who will tell as it is and help you to remain focused on your goals.Planning: I learned a lot from Prof Ong’s willingness to take the time to step back and look at the bigger picture of what she wanted to achieve. This was a habit built from an early age. She uses a short-term, middle-term, and long-term list. The short-term list is cleared daily. The medium-term list focuses approximately a month out whilst the long-term list is reviewed six monthly and charts her overall life direction and goals. There’s no one right way to be a mentor. Instead it’s about spending time talking to your mentee, figuring out what makes them tick and pointing them in the right direction from there.

In this episode, A/Prof Ong Biauw Chi and I discuss her on-the-ground style of leadership and the journey she took to become Chairman of the Medical Board in Sengkang Health.ABOUT A/PROF ONGA/Prof Ong Biauw Chi is Senior Consultant at Singapore General Hospital Department of Anaesthesiology. She was the Head of Anaesthesiology, SGH from 2009 till 2014 and the Director of Patient Safety and Director of Clinical Governance in Singapore General Hospital for a period of 9 years.

It involves going to the ground and seeing the truth for yourself. Sometimes it is difficult to know what’s really happening on the ground unless you are personally there. As a leader, you need to go see how things are on the ground.So, how do you know when you need to go down to the ground to check things out for yourself? That’s where experience comes in - it gives you a gut feel for when something doesn’t quite fit, or when your presence as a leader might be needed.Passion and curiosity: When you are passionate about what you do, you give it your all and become the best you can be. Curiosity goes hand in hand with passion. If you are passionate about something, you’ll always want to go the extra mile and learn more. Curiosity compliments passion.

In this episode, I delve into the definition of Clinical Governance as part of my preparation for anticipated medical interviews. Clinical Governance is actually one of the things that you and I, as IMGs, can't afford to walk into an interview for any NHS Trust without knowing what it stands for, why it is important, and what the seven pillars it's based upon are. So I have done the heavy lifting of reading about it and in this episode, I deliver a quick review of the most important things you need to know about Clinical Governance. Like what you heard?

Claire is an experienced, inspiring, strong-minded, yet very modest antimicrobial pharmacist. She started her career with an interest in care of the elderly, an area of pharmacy that she wasn't expecting to love as much as she did. The idea of making clinical interventions and de-prescribing to prevent falls, for example, intrigued her. She highlights the fact that elderly patients take so many medications and this is a prime area for pharmacists to make a difference in patient care. Her first experience of working in infectious diseases was at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for a 6 month rotation in Clinical Governance and Risk combined with Antimicrobials. This role was a great combination as antimicrobial prescribing is a constant battle between weighing up risks vs taking the medication and the governance aspect of this role is also very similar. This role allowed Claire to experience directorate level work in audits, quality assurance, writing guidelines, and implementing NPSA alerts. She fell in love with infectious diseases in this job and hasn't looked back! She loves working alongside consultants and going on ward rounds, making positive changes to prescribing, ensuring patients aren't having unnecessary antibiotics to begin with, IV to oral switches etc. The role involves a lot of governance too - guideline writing and policy development, auditing, and service improvement - elements of the job that Claire thoroughly enjoys! In November 2018 whilst working at Buckinghamshire NHS Trust, there was a call for NHS staff to support proposals to tackle Antimicrobial Resistance in commonwealth countries in Africa. The Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship (CwPAMS) scheme has supported 12 health partnerships across Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia to fight AMR. The CwPAMs projects, started in February 2019, have been supported by the Commonwealth Pharmacy Association (CPA) and Tropical Health Education Trust (THET). The Chief Pharmaceutical Officer Global Health Fellows programme is the first Global Health fellowship for pharmacists funded by Health Education England (HEE). It compliments the CwPAMS programme and aims to support pharmacists by furthering leadership and project management skills throughout their work on the projects. Claire and her team have embraced this opportunity and she talks about her experience in detail in the podcast! You can follow Claire on Instagram @brandmennis and on twitter @Clairebrandish1.

As we keep saying, ‘quality’ is about way more than accreditation. But is it also about accounting? Get the quality right and the dollars will follow, so they say. Or will they? 1. QUALITY QUANDARY Our QQ for today reminds us that sometimes it ‘pays’ to show management that quality improvement is handy for more...

Andy Elwood was a helicopter paramedic - in the North Sea, amidst high seas, in freezing waters. After that, Andy volunteered to be a field medic in the Afghanistan War. In addition to his love of the adrenaline rush, it also took tremendous courage to be the heroic “dope on a rope” and the guy who rushed out of the helicopter, at times, into live gunfire and minefields to rescue severely wounded soldiers. Years later, safely back home in the United Kingdom, Andy had a harrowing experience of a PTSD flashback during a shower which brought him right back to the face of a badly injured soldier whom he was working to save in 110 degree heat. And now, Andy travels around the United Kingdom in an old Range Rover, talking to men about mental health. He is one of the bravest SOBs that I’ve ever met, and he has incredible stories to share. Tune in for a few laughs, some horrific scares, a bit of disgust in terms of what he’s dealt with on the job, and relief and gratitude that such a man exists. Andy saves lives. His approach is different, refreshing and unique. He campaigns, speaks and is a Mental Health First Aid instructor. Andy sparks conversations which enables culture change regarding Mental Health and Wellbeing for individuals and organisations. He creates safety and trust by sharing his own vulnerability and gives a unique ‘behind the scenes’ insight into life and death situations on Search and Rescue helicopters, on the Afghanistan battlefields during military service and to the potential downward spirals due to 21st Century pressures. Andy has a male focus and believes that mental health deserves parity with physical health. His unique approach to communicating with men is driven by the fact that men are three times more likely than women to end their life by suicide. After 18 years working on rescue helicopters around the world, he believes that focusing on mental health will save more lives than continuing to dangle under helicopters, as a paramedic. Andy’s Search and Rescue career began with the Royal Air Force and was completed in the Coastguard, where he led Clinical Governance for half of the UK. Despite Andy’s various awards for physical courage, he believes his bravest action has been to talk openly about his own struggles and vulnerability, in order to find a way through three very different challenges during his lifetime.
