  o Dr Paul Howat: The second victim - a narrative literature search
  About Dr Paul Howat’s topic: The term “second victim” was coined in 2000 by Wu, who proposed that the doctor involved in a poor clinical outcome could be regarded as a second victim in addition to the patient.  The narrative literature review looks at the lived experience of doctors as second victims, what helps and what harms their recovery.
  About Dr Paul Howat: Paul is an obstetrician and gynaecologist graduating from University of Melbourne in 1986 and received his fellowship in 1996.  He has recently semi-retired after 9 years as Divisional Director of Women’s and Children’s Services at Northern Health in Melbourne, and another 10 years prior to that as Clinical Director of O&G in Cairns in Queensland.  He has held clinical associate professor roles at James Cook University and the University of Melbourne.  He completed the Masters of Surgical Education in 2022 and hopes to further his interest in education now he has stepped down from leadership and management roles.
