Can sport psychology improve clinical performance?

Earlier in 2023 we focused on speaking up for respect and wellbeing. We want to revisit that topic to give you a chance to reflect – but at the same time introduce you to someone new. Dr Katie Grant speaks with Professor John Sandars about his latest research that looks to utilize sport psychology approaches and thinking to improve the performance of healthcare workers. The MPS Foundation The MPS Foundation is a global not-for-profit research initiative that aims to shape the future of patient safety and the wellbeing of healthcare professionals and teams. We favour projects whose findings and outcomes can be applied to private hospital and outpatient practice or dental care environments. https://www.thempsfoundation.org/LINKS FROM JOHN When I say… aggregation of marginal gains https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/medu.12970 Applying sport psychology to improve clinical performance https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28784016/ Using Insights From Sports Psychology to Improve Recently Qualified Doctors’ Self-Efficacy While Managing Acutely Unwell Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33086231/ Applying sport psychology in health professions education https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0142159X.2021.1966403 SPEAKERS Host was Dr Katie Grant https://twitter.com/drkittygrant Guest was Professor John Sandars https://www.researchgate.net/profile/John-Sandars For more information about Medical Protection please visit www.medicalprotection.org
