Workshops - round one
No decision about me, without me: what we
can do to improve patients' conversations with doctors
Doctors are meant to work in partnership
with patients, giving them a say over their care and the opportunity to make
informed choices about their treatment. One year on from when the GMC updated
its guidance on consent for doctors, patients say they still struggle to be
heard and involved in decisions about their care. We’ll explore why this happens
for some patients, and what can be done in doctors’ education and practice to
improve the conversations patients have with medical professionals.

Workshops - round three
“Use
your professional judgement” - what do the regulators mean?
Earlier this year, the Professional
Standards Authority commissioned Professor Deborah Bowman to explore the ethical
experiences of health and social care practitioners during the Covid-19
pandemic. A key finding was that, while professional judgement is a key concept
in professional guidance, there can be different individual interpretations of
what this means. As the GMC begins its review of Good medical practice, this
workshop will explore what professional judgement means, how it is developed,
and how regulators can more effectively support their registrants to use
it.

Sexism, sexual harassment and assault in
the healthcare workforce
A 2021
BMA survey found that sexism is widespread in medicine – with 91% experiencing
sexism at work and 42% feeling they could not report it. More recently there has
also been significant discussion on sexual harassment and assault in the
healthcare workforce, and how speaking up across the system can help put an end
to it. The GMC investigates several allegations of workplace sexism and sexual
misconduct each year - conduct that can severely affect doctors’ and other health
professionals' wellbeing and their careers. In this session we will seek to
understand how we and others can tackle and prevent all forms of sexism and
fight sexual harassment and abuse in medicine.
