New Media Spotlights on urging NDP to Deliver on Family Doctor Commitments????? You may have noticed BCCFP Board Member Dr. Jennifer Lush advocating for family physicians on TV and news the past few days! The BC College of Family Physicians (BCCFP) is drawing attention as family medicine issues become a focal point in provincial discussions. We are highlighting urgent challenges in primary care, including a growing shortage of family physicians and the overwhelming administrative burdens that impact their ability to provide timely patient care. With health care at the forefront of public discourse, the growing media attention on family medicine will hopefully mark an important step toward meaningful and effective policy changes, from expanded funding and incentives to reducing administrative burden to retain and attract new doctors.

It’s #WorldLungDay, so let’s talk about bronchiolitis and continuous pulse oximetry monitoring—why are guidelines not being followed? Continuous pulse oximetry (cSpO2) monitors contribute to noisy care environments, emit frequent false alarms that can unnecessarily burden nurses, and they elicit excessive intervention. Even so, cSpO2 monitoring outside established guidelines is common in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis. To understand why, Clinical Futures’ core faculty member Halley Ruppel, PhD, RN, and Associated Director of Implementation Science, Chris Bonafide, MD, MSCE, and their research team analyzed 371 clinician responses across 36 hospitals and found that 70% of responses did not include a clinical reason.

The NHS is grappling with an alarming trend as junior doctors increasingly abandon permanent roles in favour of higher-paying locum work. The flexibility, financial rewards, and independence offered by locum positions are proving too enticing to resist for many young medics. Read more here:https://lnkd.in/eHUVUyXQ

Last week, at Acute Medicine Days in H?meenlinna, Finland, the Systematic team, Lene Buch and Timo A. Rantanen, showcased the Columna Flow Clinical Tasking mobile solution. The system helps assign patients to doctors and nurses, considering the actual workload and enables smooth and secure communication between the clinicians in various roles at the Emergency Department (ED) ???? The first pilot EDs in Denmark have reduced the number of phone calls interrupting work significantly - by up to 90%. Improving ED workflows through digitalisation is also raising interest among Finnish acute medicine professionals. We look forward to kicking off the pilot project with the first Finnish EDs to get evidence of how the benefits will be realized outside of Denmark.

The EMF Effect: Inspiring insights from Dr Michelle Dodds and Natasha Edwards from Redcliffe Hospital Emergency Department on their research into developing a paediatric peripheral intravenous cannulation package. Funded by an EMF Emerge grant, the project aimed to enhance the procedure for inserting intravenous cannulas in children under 16, which often causes anxiety for patients and families. The research team developed evidence-based resources, including a bedside guide and an education package, to boost clinician confidence and standardise practices. The implementation of these resources resulted in improved patient experiences, reduced clinician anxiety, and enhanced workflow efficiency. These resources have been successfully integrated into various departments at Redcliffe Hospital and have also been adopted at many sites in Queensland. Future plans include expanding the resources for broader applications in both paediatric and adult care, focusing on skills that alleviate patient anxiety during various medical procedures.

Dr. Allan Grill, Assistant Dean of the Queen's University-Lakeridge Health Campus, highlights the risks posed by Canada's family physician shortage and outlines three short-term solutions. He points to the Queen's-Lakeridge Health MD Family Medicine program as a prime example of initiatives aimed at training family doctors right within the communities where they will ideally live and work upon graduation.

?? Residency is Tough—Connection Makes It Easier ?? Residency is a time of immense growth—but also immense pressure. It’s often the first time physicians face the emotional weight of loss, the stress of high-stakes decisions, and the challenge of relentless expectations. ???? The only ones who truly understand the demands of this profession are fellow physicians/residents. That’s why having a space for real, meaningful connection matters. ? Quick Connect Huddles was designed to provide that space. Quick Connect Huddles is a 12-month, ready-to-use initiative designed to be used during protected didactic time or well-being days, helping residents process their experiences, support each other, and build resilience—because connection strengthens both physicians and patient care. Let’s give residents the support they deserve. Learn more at qchuddles.com ?? #ResidencyWellBeing #ConnectionMatters #PreventBurnout #StrongerTogether #ResidencyPrograms #MedicalTraining

Now featured on BOA’s Orthopaedics Online! Take a look at the 2024 BOA Medical Student Essay Prize runner-up essay by Nidhi Vivek: Levelling up: How the 'games area' optimises post-operative care in an evolving NHS. This year we asked for submissions in the form of a Quality Improvement Project. Nidhi concludes: ‘The future of the NHS entails an increasing and more vulnerable population – and so places greater burdens on the already stretched health and social care services. With these increasing pressures, applying simple, low-cost interventions (like the GA) are essential for upholding high standards of patient care, while sustaining the work force.’ ??

The Maryland Regional Neonatal Transport Program recently welcomed a new member to their team: a brand-new vehicle, specially equipped with the latest technology to serve infants in the region with serious health needs. Johns Hopkins neonatologist Frances Northington, co-medical director of the neonatal transport team, describes the vehicle as a “NICU on wheels,” noting, “Our team can perform medical procedures during transit if necessary.” The transport program has been jointly operated by Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland Medical Center for the past 30 years.
