Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mental illness and patient safety
Q: At what point do you notify APRA?
If the doctor is removed from service and engaging in treatment, there may not be a need for immediate APRA notification, but we must act urgently if there’s a risk to the public.
Mental illness and patient safety
Q: How do you deal with an advocate when you've got a doctor who lacks insight?
We need to present hard evidence and facts while preparing for any narratives their legal advocates will create in their favor.
Mental illness and patient safety
Q: What are your immediate actions?
I would encourage the doctor to stand down until the situation is resolved and work on a plan for them to accept treatment with a psychiatrist.
Mental illness and patient safety
Q: How do you go about getting a person like this with very little insight to see a psychiatrist?
We start with general persuasion, emphasizing we are there to help them, and if that doesn't work, we may need to enlist others' support to ensure they seek treatment.
Mental illness and patient safety
Q: What issues does this scenario raise?
Concerns for public safety, the welfare of the doctor, and the effects on staff morale are paramount due to the potential manic behavior of the locum doctor.
