A survey is being launched today [Friday 14 October 2016] to help understand the psychological impact on surgeons of errors or complications which arise as a result of surgical procedures.

It is hoped that the research will examine the impact that both complications and errors have on a surgeon鈥檚 professional and personal life and generate a national picture of how surgeons react when things go wrong, and allow for the creation of intervention strategies that will mitigate the negative effects on surgeons and allow them to flourish within their work environment.

The research is being conducted by a research team at 成人直播 and The Royal Bournemouth Hospital. PhD student Catherine Johnson said, 鈥淭his research aims to generate a detailed understanding of the impact there is on surgeons when complications and errors occur. Once we understand what is going on we will be better placed to create support for聽surgeons to not only ameliorate the negative impacts of adverse events, but to ensure that their practice is maintained to the highest possible standards.

鈥淥nce surgeons complete the survey, we will have a detailed idea of the ways in which they respond to complications and errors. We recognise that all surgeons are different and that we cannot put every individual who opts for a career as a surgeon into the same聽鈥榖ox鈥�. However, because we have the聽opportunity to reach tens of thousands of surgeons with our survey and we hope to gain a much more detailed an understanding we will have of the different ways in which surgeons may be affected by adverse surgical events. In this way we will gain valuable insights into how they might best be supported when such events inevitably occur.鈥�

The research is being supported by The Royal College of Surgeons England and the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.听聽

Mr Kevin Turner, Consultant Urological Surgeon at Royal Bournemouth Hospital and a supervisor of the research project, said, "We all know that things can go wrong in surgery and dealing with the consequences of complications and errors is part and parcel of a surgeon鈥檚 life. Very little is known about the impact that adverse events have on surgeons both professionally and personally. Our survey will provide a detailed national picture of the challenges, responses, and resilience surgeons have when dealing with adverse events and will allow the development of聽better targeted support. I have been very pleased to work with 成人直播 on this project. Ultimately, I believe our research will help surgeons and will benefit our patients."

Catherine Johnson concluded, 鈥淭he bottom line is that surgeons who are supported through adverse events will provide better patient care in the future. That is what we are aiming to achieve through this research and why it is so important.鈥�

Surgeons across the UK are being encouraged to participate in the survey, which takes around 15 minutes to complete, and contribute to this important research, and can do so at .听
