Objective: To establish whether Foundation Year 1 (FY1) doctors in Edinburgh are sufficiently prepared to deliver generalist palliative care, with a view to informing developments in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.
Methods: Questionnaires were sent to FY1 doctors and to supervising consultants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five FY1 doctors.
Background: Our Trust developed a clinical guideline to improve the prescribing and use of intravenous (IV) fluids based on the British consensus guidelines on IV fluid therapy for adult surgical patients. We audited the effect of targeted interventions to improve performance against this guideline.
