ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly changed anaesthetic and critical care departments across the UK and fulfilled the definition of a major incident for an extended period of time. It is regularly highlighted that individual and organisational readiness for major incident is inconsistent, as is support in the aftermath. Post-pandemic rates of anxiety and PTSD in healthcare staff have significantly increased, but we still have no embedded method of helping to prevent it. Clinical debriefing is an emerging tool with proven improved psychological outcomes for staff following an adverse event. We surveyed 354 anaesthetists of a range of grades and experiences prior to attending a webinar centred on major incident organisation, human factors and clinical debrief. While 73.8% knew where to access their hospital’s major incident plan, only 16.8% had been trained in any form of clinical debrief. Only 29% had ever received any formal training in major incident management. It seems that the occurrence of major incidents is no longer a ‘once in a career’ event. The inconsistencies in training and preparedness shown in our survey highlight opportunities for our workforce to be more agile and subsequently better supported for the future.
