A registrar is found asleep with his phone turned off during a serious emergency. In this episode of ‘Safeguarding Healthcare’, host Dr David Rankin poses a scenario involving a senior obstetric registrar who fails to respond to urgent calls during what has been a quiet shift. Dr. Rachel Cheong, the Director of Medical Services at Barwon Health in Geelong, responds to the hypothetical, offering insights into the key issues of clinical safety, professional behaviour, and wider organizational implications. The discussion delves into immediate actions, investigations, and support for the staff involved. Dr. Cheong emphasizes the importance of maintaining a speaking-up culture and balancing confidentiality with public safety.
