Overall aim of this chapter: to help the reader (mainly TPDs) realise how important it is to work with our consultant colleagues and not against them. And that for this to happen, we need to respect and treat them as equals and not give 'top down' advice or messages. How difficulties in a post must not be reacted to in a way that simply imparts responsibility and blame: we need to create a safe environment for all parties to express their true feelings in order to work TOGETHER. Also give the reader some guidance on designing rotations (creatively vs traditional) and the key elements of a good hospital educational post.
- Key elements for working with our hospital colleagues (eg viewing them as equals, offering respect, being courteous and professional - in essence seeing them as part of the team rather than people to 'fight' to get on board); Getting them involved with VTS to make them feel part of it eg occaisionally teaching on HDR for instance; regular communication with them; notifying them of difficulties (eg with placements) EARLY on; engaging them in problem solving rather than problem solving for them
