Improving induction to support new junior paediatric staff through an electronic induction guide and buddy scheme
Extract from the article:
The problem
Staff changeover is stressful and a source of significant anxiety for rotating clinicians and the wider team; paediatric rotations can be particularly unfamiliar.1–5 Departments take steps to mitigate this and to prepare staff for their role, by providing an induction programme. Induction may include oral presentations, written information, tours and practical sessions to address common areas of confusion and orientate newcomers. However, inductions vary, and their impact may be transient given unfamiliarity and stress hinder learning new information and the volume of information required is likely to be too great to be easily absorbed.6
Aims
To improve induction for junior doctors and nurse practitioners in a general paediatrics department at a tertiary London hospital (approximately eight new juniors per rotation); and to maintain clinical and departmental confidence over changeovers with a digital guide and ‘buddy scheme’.
