Question

write a letter to the chief medical officer regarding of covid-19​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dear Professor Donaldson,

The long awaited report of the inquiry into children's heart surgery at the Bristol Royal Infirmary has now been published. The report echoes many of the themes that you have developed and reiterated since you became chief medical officer. It notes, for example, that “error, once acknowledged, allows lessons to be learned” and that “learning from error, rather than seeking someone to blame, must be the priority.”1

You have also recently explained in the BMJ how clinical governance will facilitate the delivery of quality care, which should be characterised by “a no blame, questioning, learning culture, excellent leadership, and an ethos where staff are valued and supported as they form partnerships with patients.”2 Similarly, in the letter you sent to every doctor last month, you noted that there had not been a real appreciation of the frequency with which, when things go wrong, “the true cause lies in weaknesses within the system rather than culpable actions of an individual.” Your letter also drew attention to a statement recently issued on behalf of the government, the medical profession, and the NHS which emphasised “the need to acknowledge ‘honest failure’” and that “the first response should not be blame and retribution.”3

Few would wish to criticise your frequent promulgation of these principles.2–6 What puzzles us—and many other doctors—is why you and your colleagues in the civil service and government have not ensured that you use opportunities to set an example of the behaviour you expect of others. This open letter reflects our frustrating failure to be allowed to discuss these matters with you informally.

Dear Colleague

I am writing to update you on the COVID-19 outbreak situation in Australia and internationally, and to outline the Commonwealth’s current and future support for the central role you are playing in our national response.

Communication

i am sorry for writing this small letter due to there are many things there i requst u to come nd check full report also

There has been a significant amount of advice and information already provided to health professionals. I recognise that the evolving nature of this outbreak has required public health advice to evolve rapidly with the emerging epidemiology. This has made it more challenging for people to keep it up to date and has led to some confusion and a perception of inconsistency of information / information gaps. We are addressing this and will enhance communication to primary care, starting with this letter and followed up by twice weekly newsletters to all GPs in Australia together with regular GP Webinars. There is the very real possibility that larger scale community outbreaks will occur across Australia, placing a significant burden on the health system, in which you play an absolutely critical frontline role.

Yours sincerely

Professor Brendan Murphy, Chief Medical Officer
