Description
Gemma Scrimgeour and co-authors study a peer support program for surgeons after adverse events in a 2026 paper. When surgery goes wrong, the surgeon often suffers too, with effects on wellbeing, work, and safety. Routine support after such incidents is rarely offered.
A collaborative helped twelve hospital groups in the UK and Ireland set up surgeon-led peer response teams. Sixteen team members were interviewed about what helped and what hindered local roll-out. The title quotes the heart of it: talking to someone who gets it. Implementation lessons here can spare other hospitals the same trial and error.
