‘The Ideal Nurse’ ‘No matter how gifted she may be, she will never become a reliable nurse until she can obey without question. The first and most helpful criticism I ever received from a doctor was when he told me I was supposed to be simply an intelligent machine for the purpose of carrying out his orders‟ – SD (1917)

Rise and Rise Again How to remain resilient in a complex healthcare
environment
Key Elements of Resilience
• Realism
• Purpose
• Creativity
Realism
• Be present
• Be self-aware
• Be curious
• Acceptance
Being Present
• Practice mindfulness techniques (if you like)
• Make use of your senses rather than letting your intuition run riot
• Do something in your day that connects you with the present
Self Aware and Self Care
• Examine how you work best- introversion vs extroversion
• What is your default decision making style
• Evaluate your PERMA
• What do you do to take care of yourself?
PERMA
• Positive emotion
• Engagement
• Relationships
• Meaning
• Accomplishment
Curiosity • How much of what you believe to
be true is based on data?
• What assumptions are you making about your current situation?
• What part are you playing?
• Is your response reasonable and proportionate?
• Is there an alternative way to view this situation?
• Can you change the part you play?
The world is not set up for our convenience
• None of us are straightforward
• We all stuff things up
• Sometimes it feels like the world is against us
• Make room for the bad stuff in your life, don’t try to shut it out
Purpose
• Do you know what your core values are?
• Can you operationalise your values?
• Do you belong or are you trying to fit in?
• Do you trust yourself?
What Matters to You
• What do you value?
• What in your life is an immovable object?
• Can you identify 2 or 3 core values?
How do your values show up at work?
• Think of 3 occasions when you have worked within your values
• Think of 3 occasions when you not worked within your values
How to Belong
• Is everyone trying their best?
• Be civil, but don’t allow BS to go unanswered
• Hold hands with strangers
• Have a strong back, a soft front and a wild-heart
Civility and BS
“The desire to fit in and pick the right side, results in us bullshitting and often falling on the side of the oppressor, so therefore being uncivil.”
Brene Brown
Check on Self-Trust
• Boundaries
• Reliability
• Accountability
• Vault
• Integrity
• Non-Judgement
• Generosity
Creativity
• What resources do you possess?
• How can you possibly use those resources?
• Who can possibly help you?
• How can your sense of realism, and your purpose possibly help you be creative?

Hyponatraemia
is a disorder of Body Water
1. Adrogue HJ, Madias NE. N Eng J Med. 2000;342(21):1581-1589.
The presence of hyponatraemia may be due to a number of underlying conditions

What is plasma osmolality?
Osmolality is the number of
particles contained in one
litre of water
Summary
Volume Regulation
effective circulating volume regulation.
The regulation of volume involves
the regulation of plasma volume
and blood pressure
Plasma volume is increased
through the resorption of sodium
and water
Renal resorption of sodium is the
first and best defence against
volume depletion
second-line defence - resorption of
water
Volume regulation occurs in three
steps
Osmoregulation is the maintenance of
a consistent plasma osmolality
Why is this important?
Because of the potentially devastating
consequences of abnormalities in plasma
osmolality, tight control is important.
The body changes water to control
plasma osmolality through thirst and
ADH
To increase plasma osmolality, water
excretion is enhanced by suppression of
thirst and ADH
To lower plasma osmolality, water is
added through thirst and the release
of ADH
Thirst is the body’s way of saying,
“Plasma osmolality is high. Give me
water
ADH ADds Hydration to the body by
forming a concentrated urine
Plasma osmolality is detected in the hypothalamus which controls thirst and ADH,
the two regulators of osmolality
The body regulates plasma osmolality by
controlling the amount of body water
Hyponatraemia!
Hyponatraemia is usually associated with
hypo-osmolality
Hyponatremia is important
because it can indicate a low plasma osmolality.
Hyponatraemia not associated with a low plasma
osmolality is not worrisome and is not treated
Hyponatraemia
Increased glucose and mannitol
cause pseudo-hyponatremia with
a high plasma osmolality.
True Hyponatraemia
True hyponatremia is due to a relative
excess of water and can occur with
hypovolemia, euvolemia and hypervolemia
Hypovolemic hyponatremia is due to
the loss of renal or extra-renal fluid.
Hypervolemic hyponatremia can
be caused by heart or liver failure
ADH release in the setting of
both normal osmolality and
euvolemia is inappropriate.
SIADH is defined by four
characteristics
Hypothyroidism can cause the
inappropriate release of ADH.
Addison's disease can also cause
the inappropriate release of ADH
Adaptation
Hyponatremia is either acute or
chronic depending on the
presence of cerebral adaptation
rapid correction of chronic, well-
compensated hyponatremia can
have devastating neurologic
consequences
The treatment of hyponatremia
should be approached with
caution.
four general strategies in the
treatment of hyponatremia.
Acute symptomatic hyponatraemia
Treatment
Patients with active seizures or respiratory failure
bolus of 100 ml of 3% saline over 10
minutes
to increase the plasma sodium abruptly by about
2–4 mmol/L
an infusion of 3% saline should be given at a rate of 1 ml/kg/hr
Less severe neurological manifestations
the bolus should
be omitted
Measure Na !!!

Why I believe in PAs Jim Parle MBChB FRCGP MD, Emeritus Professor UoB,
Immediate past Chair of the PA Schools Council
Immediate past Director of the Birmingham PA programme
Current senior examiner for the PA national Exam
and More ‘PA years’ than any other Dr in UK
JP:
- Why me?
- Brief history of PAs
- PA education & standards
- What can PAs do for us?
- What’s so special about
PAs anyway?
• Why me?
Qualified 1978
GP from 1982
Senior partner from 1983
(retired December 2017)
Academic 1992
(retired December 2018)
Led GP-based medical
education at Birmingham
• Why me?
First involved with PAs
~2002
started VERY sceptical
GP & PA
West Mids struggling
Me refusenik!!
• Why me?
So
from SCEPTIC
to
Evangelist
OK: history of PAs
• Vietnam war – when was it?
– 1965-73
– (Joni Mitchell: California: „Sitting in a park in Paris France, Reading the news and it sure looks bad, They won‟t give peace a chance‟ That was just a dream some of us had‟)
• Body counts!
• ~1.5 million est .deaths
• 58,000 US deaths
• Max no. of US soldiers in Vietnam was ~1.5 million
‘Upside’ of the war
• Duke University
• Identified
opportunities for
‘medics’
• Dr shortages
(especially rural)
• 4 (!) initial recruits
US PA growth
• Lumpy!
• Now ~130,000 PAs
• Course numbers
growing
– (Dr shortages)
What about UK
history?
• 1st ‘PA’ course: UoW
• ‘Medical care practitioners’ etc etc
• 2003-6 DH committee (RCP and RCGP) led to 2006 Competence & Curriculum Framework
• ‘CCF-based’ PA courses: Jan 2008 Birmingham & Wolverhampton & September 2008 St George’s London
2014 onwards
• Slow start
• A few stumbles
• Now/soon: 36??
courses
• ~ 1,000 grads a year
• ~ 10,000 PAs in 10
years
PAs practice
medicine
• Therefore PAs must
be educated, like
doctors, to practice
medicine

So: what can PAs do?: how can PAs help?
• Flexibility – What do you need?
– What will you need in 10 years time?
• Bridge the primary and secondary care boundaries – More secondary care is moving into the primary care domain
• e.g. a frailty service
• Continuity of care – For patients
– For the MDT
• Patient satisfaction (Drennan et al, 2015)
• Reduce GP burnout; PAs can support, but not replace – Allowing time for training, leadership and complex cases
Why a PA?
• GPs are the true ‘generalists’ of medicine; PAs complement their role
• Trained to a medical model
• Clear scope of practice – Which can be developed in
time (as aligned with that of their supervising Dr)
– ‘You know what you are going to get’
• Revalidation
How to recruit?
• Recruit local
• Train local
• Work local (c.f. medicine0
• How many does the area need?
– Who knows?
– Daily Mail “16,000 PAs a year”
– Pro rata USA prob 20,000-25,000 total across UK
FAQs
• Hurdles
– Junior drs
– Nurses
– Patients
• Social media
• Newspapers
What’s the
evidence?
• Drennan et al
• ‘Pre-judging’
• Data gathered from Nurses, junior doctors, senior doctors, managers
• Overwhelmingly positive
• Key is to do the groundwork!
• Doh!!
Conclusion
• Courses well established
• Regulation coming
• RCGP position paper (2017): – „PAs can help to
broaden the capacity of the GP role and skill mix‟
• Churchill: – Not the beginning of the
end but the end of the beginning
