Even that close to CCT, or even as a consultant, thrown in at deep end, no induction in unfamiliar place, unfamiliar team, unfamiliar systems after prolonged period off work...even a new consultant should have option of ‘phone a friend’- and when that friend isn’t there... ?

Dr BG got the benefit of the doubt in a claim in her defence:pic.twitter.com/TLLDeJKS9I

So much for the 'if it isn't written down, it didn't happen' thinking, eh? I wonder how any such claims from the family would be treated if it didn't appear in the notes? Not that I don't already know the answer to that one...

We all (or mostly) try to live by that code of documenting everything, but try it just for one day, in your normal job, documenting every discussion, decision or action taken at time of doing so- then you will see the reality of just how difficult a task it is to keep up with.

Spent my whole life working in another regulated environment where that very principle applied. I know exactly how hard it is, because I & everyone who worked with me had to do it every day too. And if we didn't, we automatically lost any claim. Every time. No excuses accepted.

How steady was the environment you worked in? Were you subject to large variations in volume or complexity of tasks, or access to supporting services (IT and human), or wild variations in types of tasks required of each of you?

Or lots of incidents where the policies/protocols/guideline didn’t actually fit the circumstance, so you had to fill the gaps yourself, or go ‘Off-piste’?

Healthcare probably isn’t the only such industry with such variability and strains, but it is one of the most heavily scrutinised and criticised, just because of the fact that it affects virtually everyone at some time in their life, and we all pay for it in our taxes

Healthcare is the one industry that you can't easily walk away from and choose not to engage. It's not a choice. But I still think any exceptionalism arguments should be avoided at all costs. History teaches us that such thinking rarely ends well for the rest of society.

When priority is saving a child with severe asthma, and then running to somewhere else for cardiac arrest, then chasing other things, people, fending off phone calls and staff requests/queries...and each notes entry may take 5-15 min (of left alone to do it) ...

Do you have evidence Dr BG attended an arrest that day that wasn't Jack? Another Tweeter claimed that but doesn't provide useful evidence. Many thanks

Most often somewhere in between, but get more ‘succinct’ the busier it gets.
