BOA Session
Session Title:
Ask the expert - the 'difficult' Joint Report
Description of session
In medico-legal practice the joint report process should be, and most of the time tends to be, a straightforward process between the experts instructed by the opposing parties, setting out areas of agreement (often quite a lot), any areas of disagreement, and why the experts disagree on those points, to simplify and narrow the issues for the court. While most of the time, between medico-legal experts well-versed in the process, it is a straightforward matter, on occasion we have all had experiences where the process is more difficult, for a variety of reasons. A panel of orthopaedic medico-legal experts and Counsel will set out the process and provide tips and strategy for dealing with such scenarios, with opportunity for questions and discussion with the delegates.'

Non-Technical Skills (NOTTs RCSEd)
This is an exciting opportunity to develop your understanding of Non Technical skills and gain an initial exposure to the NOTTs taxonomy. High performance in domains of Non Technical skills have been shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce mortality, and these skills are now far more prominent in the updated surgical curricula.
The aim of the NOTTs project was to develop and test an educational system for assessment and training of non-technical skills in the intra-operative phase of surgery. NOTTs is a behaviour rating system based on a skills taxonomy that allows valid and reliable observation and assessment of four categories of surgeons' non-technical skill: situation awareness, decision making, communication & teamwork, and leadership.
These are the essential non-technical skills surgeons need to perform safely in the operating room and NOTTs allows measurement of several ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) competencies, including professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, and systems-based practice. The skills taxonomy can be used to structure training and assessment in this important area of surgical competence.
The Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh NOTTs Masterclass is taught around the world. Faculty development has also occurred for groups in North America, East Africa, Japan, Australasia and Malaysia, all of whom now run their own NOTTs courses. "
