The Clinician in the Room

The patient is not the only person under pressure in an emergency encounter. What happens when we turn our attention to the clinicians?

Hamish and Jeremy examine how staff stress, competing instructions, hierarchy and clinical authority can shape an escalating situation. They explore clear leadership, practical team resets, handing over a difficult interaction and repairing communication when things go wrong. The discussion brings patient dignity and staff safety together, while asking what responsibility belongs to the wider organisation.
