In-situ Simulation
Course Duration: Variable one hour to one day
CPD Hours: Variable
Time: Variable
Simulated patient scenarios with real time-pressures and equipment within the teams’ real clinical environment provides a rich resource to identify latent threats and system issues that can compromise patient safety. Deliberately practicing new or existing procedures within real teams can enhance their Human Factor skills including team working, communication and decision-making.
In situ simulation can occur wherever patient care or a patient transfer takes places; from acute hospital care, community or out-patient facilities, to non clinical areas. Simulated patients can be adults, children, or pregnant women. Common in situ simulations tested in different environments include Anaphylaxis, Cardiac Arrest; Airway Emergencies, Trauma and Clinical Transfers. Participants could be involved in the simulation as part of their working day or within designated training time.
Aims:
• To provide real-time experiential training of simulated situations
• To provide a framework for reviewing your working environment and its effect on the patient’s experience and their safety in relation to Human Factors
• To work more effectively with colleagues when in emergencies or in testing new clinical systems
Learning Outcomes:
We work with local staff to tailor the design and delivery of scenarios to specific learner or departmental needs.
Mobile Simulation can be adapted to any healthcare environment. Examples include:
Clinical environments:
• Operating theatres
• General wards
• Intensive care units
• Outpatient departments
• Radiology departments
• Nursing and care homes
• Hospices
Non-clinical environments:
• Public areas
• Foyers
• Fire exits
