Critically discuss the leadership styles that were demonstrated by the crew and other members of the interprofessional team involved.

Choose a scenario from practice where a clinical management decision was made.
This could be an example such as safeguarding, multi-casualty, non-conveyance, fall, minor illness or refusal of treatment etc.
This needs to be written concisely – a short paragraph which discusses the scenario and tells the marker the important points. Avoid any descriptive writing as this will waste words from the word count and will not improve your grade.

Choose ONE recognised decision-making model such as Hypothetico-deductive or humanistic intuitive to discuss how the scenario was managed.
There are clinical decision-making slides under the ‘week 4’ tab on the Moodle page which explain these two theories and are a good starting point if you are unsure.
You need to define what the chosen decision-making model is and support this with evidence.
How does experience, heuristics and intuition play a part (or do they?). What does the evidence suggest?
Whilst you will be choosing one to focus upon, you could discuss whether certain models tend to be used by experienced/inexperienced clinicians and the positives and negatives associated with these. Remember the critical thinking and writing is expected at level 6.

Critically discuss the leadership styles that were demonstrated by the crew and other members of the interprofessional team involved.
There needs to be critical discussion around the leadership styles that were witnessed. For example, first on scene may have utilised …. but when more experiences clinicians or clinicians with a wider skill set (such as HEMS) arrived, this changed to….
You need to state what the leadership styles you discuss are and support this with evidence.
What are the positives and negatives of these styles, particularly in relation to pre-hospital care? Remember to support all statements and claims with evidence.
There can be some crossover in models/theories and styles. There is a PDF on the Moodle page to help you with this.

Critically discuss the interprofessional and/or teamworking that occurred demonstrating your knowledge of and respect for other professionals involved in the care episode.
Did you liaise or work with HEMS, G.P, Social Services, Community Teams etc?
Why is it important to respect and have knowledge of the other service(s) involved in the care episode?
