Please reach out to your doctor or go to the emergency department if you are sick. We are seeing many patients come in too late and in worse condition than we normally would. #staysafe #COVID19 @epaultaylor @Sunnybrook

Our recent work in @BJSurgery investigated the relationship between technical&non-technical performance around surgical errors&events. To improve #surgicalsafety we need to adress both. Effective coaching should include the team, not only the surgeon ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29…
