| Summary: | Aims: Resident doctors in inpatient psychiatric settings manage urgent or emergency physical healthcare out of hours with limited, remote guidance and support, creating a potentially stressful and isolative work environment. The primary outcome of this Quality Improvement (QI) project is to address this problem by enhancing the confidence of resident doctors working out of hours in psychiatric inpatient units. Secondary goals include improving morale, fostering connections with acute medical teams, and delivering more timely and targeted physical health care for psychiatric inpatients with urgent physical health needs. |
