Bedside teaching: everybody’s but nobody’s responsibilityDOI: 10.2147/AMEP.S181877 Keywords: bedside teaching, quality improvement, junior doctor Abstract: Evidence shows dwindling levels of bedside teaching for medical students in the UK, especially in district general hospitals. Lack of individual responsibility has resulted in disengagement in teaching. Based on a quality improvement project (QIP) at a District General Hospital, we suggest some ways this could be addressed. We suggest here that harnessing support from the medical education lead, incentivizing teaching, allocating student-junior doctor groups to harbor personal responsibility, providing a supportive framework, and educating about barriers to teaching can all be used to develop an effective teaching program
