Doctors handover

My old hospital tried to do a combined medicine-surgery night handover. It meant that there was a small room filled with the medical take team, the medical ward team, ITU, outreach, surgery team, ortho team... and that was just the night staff. We'd discuss every proper sick patient but also, like, hyperkalemia or stable fast AF, or has a cough ?HAP.

It would take about 45 minutes, maybe longer, during which only once in a blue moon would any surgical speciality have anything to discuss whatsoever. They were constantly trying to battle the surgeons to get them to attend. When I became an ortho F2, i never did. It was ****ing stupid.

Apparently this was something heavily pushed by the managers (at the expense of patient care, i would argue). It ended up being one of the things highlighted by the CQC as 'outstanding'. Managers know how to please managers.
