| الوصف: | Debate continues on the future of the health service and the changing roles of professionals within it. The Royal College of Physicians must contribute to this debate, restating fundamentals but updating its views on how to maintain high standards of medical care for patients and on the conditions that are necessary for physicians, especially consultants, necessary to deliver that care. In this present state of change, physicians need a clear view of their relationship with patients, of the teams within which they work and of their role within the supporting managerial structure. The importance of teamwork, good communication and working arrangements for the care and safety of patients has been highlighted once more, by the Bristol Royal Infirmary inquiry. In 1999 the College published Consultant physicians working for patients 1 . That report became a handbook detailing a consultant’ s duty of direct medical care for patients, as well as the numerous other duties which are within a consultant’ s remit. The report drew attention to the increasing pressure of emergency admissions and the needs of acutely ill patients, alongside the rising demand for care by consultants who are specialty-based. The effects on care were compounded by changes in the training and work patterns of junior medical staff and the reduced numbers of experienced trainee doctors. The report not surprisingly concluded ‐ as had previous reports ‐ that there were too few consultant physicians working with insufficient staff in facilities that too often were unsuitable for the task. |
