Junior Doctors as senior medical leaders : how flattening the curve led to flattening the hierarchy; the North Manchester model

Home, J; Onafowokan, T

Abstract

It has been well documented that during the first UK surge of COVID-19 Junior Doctors stepped up, responding flexibly to changes in clinical responsibilities, rota patterns and working hours. Additionally, many junior doctors took roles out with their usual clinical responsibilities. The North Manchester General Hospital in Greater Manchester redeployed a Foundation Year 2 doctor into its senior leadership teams at the start of the pandemic. This reflective analysis describes some of the lessons learnt from this process and future plans for implanting more junior doctors within senior leadership teams
