Summary

We talk a lot about the different skills involved in the management of the critically unwell patient; CPR, airway management, defibrillation, chest drains, RSI etc, etc…..but there is another aspect which is arguably as important and that is the non-technical skills involved in resuscitation.

In this podcast we discuss non-technical skills, followership, leadership and different models of working. What’s really important to remember in this episode is that at the centre of leadership and follwership is a patient, or patients, that we’re trying to deliver the best care and outcomes for and that effective leadership and followership are key to achieving.

Now leadership and followership comes in a variety of places but for this episode we’re mainly going to look at the importance and way in which leadership and follower ship manifests itself in high acuity cases such as traumas and cardiac arrests but the concepts are translatable to all sorts of cases and parts of healthcare.

Once again we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.

Enjoy!

Simon, Rob & James

0:03.5	Five, four, three, two, one, fire.
0:11.8	So hi, and welcome back to the recess room podcast.
0:15.5	I'm Simon Lang.
0:16.9	I'm Rob Fenwick, and I'm James AIDS.
0:19.2	And we're back all together talking about a really,
0:23.3	really important topic this time. And that's about leadership and followership. Yeah, this is a bit
0:29.9	of a divergence from our usual topics, isn't it? We're usually very kind of hard-hitting,
0:34.3	very kind of skill-focused and clinical focused. And this time we're looking at the
0:38.5	much wider issues of those non-technical skills and clinical leadership and how we can try to
0:43.9	optimize our approach both in hospital and pre-hospital. Yeah, I think there's some really
0:48.7	interesting discussions that's going to come out of this. So very much looking forward to getting
0:52.4	our teeth into the episode. But before we do that, a big thanks to SJTrem, the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation,
0:59.7	and Emergency Medicine who partner with us on these podcasts and make them all free, open access and
1:05.5	available to you. So make sure you go over and check out their fantastic online publications
1:10.6	via the hyperlink
1:11.5	on our website. So without further ado, let's crack on with leadership and followership.
1:19.6	Okay, well, we talk a lot about the different skills involved in the management of critically
1:25.4	unwell patients. So stuff like CPR, airway management,
1:29.3	defibrillation, chest drains, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It goes on and on and on, just like our
1:34.1	episodes do. But there's another aspect that we haven't really done an episode on yet, which is arguably
1:41.2	as, if not, more important. And that's all about the non-technical skills
