Fred Heatley Annual Trauma and Orthopaedic Regional Day for the Kent, Surrey, and Sussex (KSS)

Trainetics' Mark Ponnusamy talks Just Culture

The KSS Trauma and Orthopaedic training programme is a six-year programme. The programme is run by three training programme directors, Phil Housden, Samantha Hook and Matt Solan.

The training programme is unique, in that trainees usually spend two years in a hospital trust (for ST3-4) and then another two years in a Trust close by (ST5-6). This is allows working and training relationships to be fostered. 

Trainetics was kindly asked to talk about Just Culture and to provide a thought provoking discussion around balancing systemic safety improvements with individual accountability whilst distinguishing between honest human errors and reckless behaviours to foster trust and reporting.
