All Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) hospitals can continue to train doctors, but improvements in HR, including rostering of doctors and IT, are needed for patient safety, according to the Medical Council. The council inspected CHI in September following claims in an internal report about bullying and a “toxic” work culture. The council assessed CHI at Temple St against standards for intern training. “The assessor team were satisfied with the training provided to interns at CHI at Temple Street,” the council said. The council found “patient safety concerns were raised primarily as a result of operational inefficiencies such as HR and ICT”.
