Teaching power skills to improve physician self-efficacy, reduce burnout, and improve patient outcomes

If doctors had a way to improve their patients' healthcare experience, improve service feedback, reduce complaints, increase treatment adherence and reduce non-attendance, while at the same time combatting burnout and compassion fatigue in clinicians and enhancing collaborative working between staff and care teams, and all for zero direct cost, could anyone argue against such an intervention? In this paper, we present the views of the educators and clinicians at Maudsley Learning that training in communication and psychological 'power skills' is not only feasible, but crucially important for physicians at all stages of training to improve both patient care and the wellbeing of clinicians themselves. We explore some of the key relevant skills and present examples of high-fidelity simulation training that demonstrate the efficacy of this modality in improving individual skills and confidence as well as inter-team and interdisciplinary working.
