Welcome to episode 16 of the Clinical Communiqué, based on the June 2024 edition of the Clinical Communiqué. In this episode we feature two surgical cases that each portray several clinical themes, but at the heart of both is the theme of communication. In their ensuing inquests, the coroners explored how the treating teams communicated with the patient and their family members - where conversations around consent, post-operative complications, and open disclosure were lacking; and how those treating teams communicated with their own colleagues - where missed opportunities in communication hindered timely diagnoses.
