Staggering shifts to rebalance night medical registrar workload

Teams within surgery have been through countless cycles of refinement with an ever-increasing list of surgical team members. This results in a more dispersed team, making effective teamwork harder to achieve. Furthermore, the ad hoc nature of surgical teams means that team familiarity is not always given. The impact of this is seen across the field, with inadequacies leading to disastrous outcomes. This is a review of research that has been done into the topic of surgical teams. It will investigate barriers and consider the evidence available on how to improve the current system. Studies show an increased effectiveness of surgical teams with structures that allowed consistency in team members. The research advocates that advancements made in improving teamwork and efficiency can prove to be a low-cost but high-yield strategy for development. This can be in terms of simulated training, staff turnover management and fixed team allocation.
