See One, Do One, Teach One - Is That Enough?

There's an assumption that runs quietly through healthcare: if you're brilliant at something, you can teach it. But clinical expertise and teaching ability are two very different skills, and when it comes to complex care like tracheostomy, that difference really matters.

In this bonus episode, Hollie Carlile explores why informal, on-the-job knowledge transfer isn't enough when the stakes involve patient safety and regulatory scrutiny. She talks through what effective teaching actually involves: breaking down automatic knowledge, identifying gaps in a learner's understanding, and having the difficult conversations when someone isn't quite ready to be signed off.

Hollie also covers what organisations need to demonstrate to regulators and commissioners: not just that staff have been trained, but how, and with evidence to back it up.

If you're the person your colleagues always turn to for reassurance, for advice and for supporting new starters, your ability to teach might matter just as much as your clinical skill.
