Video series: Translating Research
In this episode we hear how Ellie Teloar is working to improve the efficiency of surgical ward rounds, borrowing a concept from the aviation industry.
We learn:
- why surgical ward round documentation is so important
- how easy it is for information to be missed or not recorded
- how the ‘sterile cockpit’ principle can be applied to improve information recording
