• Would you like to discover how to utilise simulation as a pedagogical learning method for training in your workplace?

Come and join us for an interactive day of seminar and workshop-based sessions that will give you the opportunity to explore multiple simulation modalities, including artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Guided by experienced practitioners in the field, you will have the opportunity to gain some hands-on practical experience utilising state of the art technology.

Provisional topics to include:

• Introduction to simulation as a pedagogical tool
• Ensuring physical and psychological safety of participants
• Promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in simulated healthcare practice
• Faculty roles
• Developing learning outcomes and writing scenarios
• Promoting validity, reliability and safety of assessment strategies
• Pre-briefing and debriefing: the good, the bad and the ugly
• Standards for simulation-based education
• Simulation on a shoestring: How to integrate high-quality simulation into workplace education with minimal budget
• Simulation on the move: The MELISSA experience
• An exploration of simulation modalities (inc. immersion, virtual reality and artificial intelligence solutions)

 

These masterclasses map to the following capabilities within the NHS England (2017) Multi-professional framework for Advanced Clinical Practice:

1.1 - Practise in compliance with their respective code of professional conduct and within their scope of practice, being responsible and accountable for their decisions, actions and omissions at this level of practice.

3.1 - Critically assess and address own learning needs

3.2 - Engage in self-directed learning, critically reflecting to maximise clinical skills and knowledge, as well as own potential to lead and develop both care and services

3.5 - Facilitate collaboration of the wider team and support peer review processes to identify individual and team learning.

3.6 - Identify further developmental needs for the individual and the wider team and supporting them to address these.

3.7 - Supporting the wider team to build capacity and capability through work-based and interprofessional learning, and the application of learning to practice
