Uni-professional learning through simulation

• Nurses
• Alinier et al (2006)
• Student nurses who had engaged in simulation
  training scored significantly higher in an OSCE
  than those that hadnt
• Medics
• Weller et al (2004)
• 71 4th and 5th year medical students Performance
  improved significantly following a simulation
  workshop

Why is simulation a valid medium for delivering
interprofessional education?

• Provides students with the opportunity to
  experience collaboration
• Effective teamwork improves patient safety
• traditionally mistakes dealt with by naming,
  blaming and shaming (Kyrkjebo 2006).
• Simulation is an effective tool for team training
  as it triggers emotional involvement (Ostergaard
  et al 2004)

Learning with patient simulators30th January 2008

• More simulators! More Facilitators! More Places!
• For a Special 2008 Late Night Learning session
• Course code A06
• You are invited to learn with other student
  medics and nurses on a realistic patient scenario
  before receiving feedback from facilitators. This
  optional, practical lesson will give you the
  opportunity to combine clinical and communication
  skills, work as part of a team and reflect on
  your practice as a whole.
• 5pm -7pm, 30th January

Late Night Learning was useful because it
enabled us to work on our communication skills
and teamworkWorking with the medical students
was helpfulit gave us the opportunity to
appreciate importance of teamwork and
communication skillsI would recommend others
to definitely sign up to do it. It is a brilliant
reflection of yourself as well-in terms of your
knowledge, character and communication skills
We were able to work in a team and are
beginning to understand the concepts of working
in a team in order to provide effective patient
management

Students views
it taught us how to work as a team , how to
clinically assess the patient, time management
skills, how to think on the spot brilliant
experience. How to interact appropriately
with other professionals and the patient The
most useful thing was the chance to work as an
MDT this made it feel real as it would on a ward.
As a student nurse handing over to the
medics It was useful to for the emphasis to be
on team work and communication with constructive
criticism if possible to have other health
care professionals eg physio, dietician etc could
be included
