Within the Volkskrant cartoon of final Saturday, psychiatrist Sigmund was booed by his equally imaginary viewers as a result of he does not have a podcast. Ridiculous in fact, as a result of not everybody wants a podcast. However Medisch Contact does. As a result of a rising a part of our viewers finds it a nice medium. That is why we now have the coed (but in addition widespread amongst medical doctors) podcast CoffeeCowe work along with dedicated medical doctors similar to Evelyn Brakema for The Inexperienced Care Podcast and we embrace the passion of rehabilitation doctor Casper van Koppenhagen to take part within the European Championship in de EKopCast bringing soccer and drugs collectively.
After which I’ve the one made by our editors Podcast MC not even talked about but. We proceed the place the location and the journal cease. Within the final episode earlier than the summer time break, the newly appointed emeritus professor of well being regulation Johan Legemaate was our visitor. He got here with an pressing piece of recommendation to the federal government. The federal government, parliament and ministries are assigning themselves an excessive amount of accountability in making legal guidelines, and should not listening sufficient to medical doctors and different healthcare professionals. In response to Legemaate, this has led to ‘dragons of laws’, such because the current legal guidelines on the usage of coercion in psychiatry. This Obligatory Psychological Well being Care Act and the Care and Coercion Act are ‘far too detailed, far too procedural and much too bureaucratic’. Whereas when making such a regulation, it’s a must to ‘take a look at the way you defend affected person rights, but in addition give the sphere the area to cope with it’.
Parliament and ministries ought to, as up to now, collaborate with the sphere from the beginning when making a regulation, argues former KNMG lawyer Legemaate. Let’s hope that this recommendation reaches The Hague. Minister Fleur Agema as soon as admitted that she reads Medisch Contact each week. If she will be able to not try this in her new place, then a weekly half-hour of MC the podcast is perhaps an appropriate various to hearken to what medical doctors are involved with. However in fact you can too preserve studying.
