What lessons can medicine learn from 🎅 Father Christmas?
Father Christmas is a highly skilled role model for the medical profession, suggest experts.

As Father Christmas gears up for the busiest 24 hours of his year, what skills does he use to get a seemingly impossible job done effectively and safely - and can they be applied to medicine?

In the Christmas issue of The BMJ, two doctors reflect on the many lessons that the medical profession can learn from Father Christmas.

Father Christmas is unique in having 364 days to prepare for an important job, note surgeon Peter Brennan and radiologist Rachel Oeppen. Even so, they warn that staying awake for more than 18 hours “leads to cognitive function deterioration similar to being twice over the UK legal alcohol limit for driving.”

It’s well known that regular breaks as well as adequate hydration and nutrition while working are vital to maintain performance and safety, they write.

As an effective team leader, Father Christmas ensures that his reindeers have rest and food while he delivers presents, but quite how he manages to function safely at all remains a mystery given the customary glass of wine, sherry, or spirits left out for him by many households.

They suggest leaving a glass of water to counter the physical and mental effects of fluid loss, particularly if Father Christmas is wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) this year.

And rather than indulging in sugar-rich mince pies, they suggest Father Christmas “might be better off snacking on the carrot sticks left out for his reindeer.”

Father Christmas should be commended for his exemplary engagement with checklists, but the authors note that his limited verbal communication skills (“ho ho ho”) could be improved.

With such a busy workload, high expectations, and the fear of widespread disappointment in the event of an error, the pressure on Father Christmas to deliver a superlative service must be immense, say the authors.

However, they are in no doubt that he appreciates the importance of maintaining good situational awareness, effective team working, and forward planning, enabling him to think about the many ‘what if?’ scenarios that could occur on Christmas Eve.

In this way, he avoids the likelihood of a Christmas “never event” (a serious but preventable incident) such as wrong site stocking delivery.

And when something doesn’t seem quite right, Father Christmas will instinctively know to stop the sleigh if safe to do so, step back, and reassess the situation with the whole team.

Although there is no evidence that he engages in a formal team brief, the authors say it would be naïve to think that Father Christmas does not take this vital aspect of work seriously, especially since his team works together infrequently.

Examples of good practice include agreeing roles during a possible crisis, actively lowering hierarchy, and valuing all members irrespective of seniority, sleigh pairings, or characteristic features (such as a shiny nose).

It is also important to empower team members to be able to raise concerns without fear, they add, pointing out that terms such as “Santa’s little helpers” could be regarded as derogatory and subordinate.

When their job has finally ended, it is likely that they will have a team debrief to confirm what went well, and what, if anything could be improved for next Christmas. The power of thanking all on “team Christmas” cannot be emphasised enough, they conclude.

Have a wonderful Christmas,
from all of us at Chronic Repeat Service

Taking your medicine as prescribed or medication adherence is important for controlling chronic conditions, treating temporary conditions, and overall long-term health and well-being.

Here are 8 tips that may help:
💊 Take your medication at the same time every day.
💊 Tie taking your medications with a daily routine like brushing your teeth or getting ready for bed. Before choosing mealtime for your routine, check if your medication should be taken on a full or empty stomach.
💊 Keep a “medicine calendar” with your pill bottles and note each time you take a dose.
💊 Use a pill container. Some types have sections for multiple doses at different times, such as morning, lunch, evening, and night.
💊 When using a pill container, refill it at the same time each week. For example, every Sunday morning after breakfast.
💊 Purchase timer caps for your pill bottles and set them to go off when your next dose is due. Some pill boxes also have timer functions.
💊 When travelling, be certain to bring enough of your medication, plus a few days extra, in case your return is delayed.
💊 If you’re flying, keep your medication in your carry-on bag to avoid lost luggage. Temperatures inside the cargo hold could damage your medication.

Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community.
Researchers believe that the symptoms of mental illness come from chemical imbalances in a person's brain. A medication works on these imbalances to reduce your symptoms, or sometimes, to relieve them completely.
