Obtaining patient feedback for personal reflection, development and GMC revalidation as an ICU consultant is complex. Various options for alternative evidence for revalidation have been suggested by FICM guidance. Communication with families at a time of crisis is core to the role of an ICU consultant and is something we should endeavour to seek feedback on to enable reflection and personal development, and which may also be useful evidence for GMC revalidation. In this article we propose a method for obtaining third party feedback on key communication events which we have demonstrated to be workable and useful.

Effects of feedback
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
