To evaluate the use of simulation-based teaching in medical undergraduate curriculum context management emergencies, using a medium fidelity simulator.Small groups students attended simulation workshop on emergencies. The was evaluated post-course questionnaire.All Year 4 allocated to resuscitation rotation during first half 2002.Student perceptions learning outcomes, value and their self-assessed improved mastery material.A total 33 all completed questionnaires. Students rated highly found...
Simulation-based education (SBE) is a rapidly developing method of supplementing and enhancing the clinical medical students. Clinical situations are simulated for teaching learning purposes, creating opportunities deliberate practice new skills without involving real patients. Simulation takes many forms, from simple training models to computerised full-body mannequins, so that needs learners at each stage their can be targeted. Emerging evidence supports value simulation as an educational...
We aimed to establish the frequency and nature of drug administration error in anaesthesia (a significant subset medicine) at two hospitals. Anaesthetists were asked return a study form anonymously for every anaesthetic, indicating whether or not pre-error (defined as any incident with potential become an error) had occurred. Further details sought if response was affirmative. From 10806 anaesthetics, 7794 forms returned, representing rates 80% from Hospital A 57% B (72% overall). The (95%...
Medical Education 2011: 45: 478–487 Objectives Evidence suggests that doctors and nurses do not always work collaboratively in health care settings this contributes to suboptimal patient care. However, there is little information on interprofessional collaboration (IPC) among new medical nursing graduates working together for the first time a multidisciplinary team. Our aim was understand nature of interactions, activities issues affecting these order inform interventions improve IPC...
We evaluated the effectiveness of a simulation-based intervention on improving teamwork in multidisciplinary critical care teams managing airway and cardiac crises compared learning case-based scores for performance.Self-controlled randomized crossover study design with blinded assessors.A simulated ward, using high-fidelity patient simulator, university simulation center.Forty from units within region comprising one doctor three nurses.At beginning end 10-hr day, each team undertook two...
Context Despite a demand for educational expertise in medical universities, little is known of the roles educators and sustainability academic careers education. We examined experiences career paths from diverse professional backgrounds seeking to establish, maintain strengthen their schools. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 44 lead early-career all 21 Australian New Zealand Questions explored beginnings, rewards challenges. Transcripts underwent systematic coding...
A nationwide survey (70% response) documented anaesthetists’ hours of work, their perceptions about safety limits and recollection fatigue-related errors in clinical practice. In the preceding six months, 71% trainees 58% specialists had exceeded self-defined for continuous anaesthesia administration. For 50% 27% specialists, average working week own maintaining patient safety, 63% 40% it personal well-being. Fatigue-related were reported by 86% respondents, with 32% recalling months....
A safety-orientated system of delivering parenteral anaesthetic drugs was assessed in a prospective incident monitoring study at two hospitals. Anaesthetists completed an form for every anaesthetic, indicating if occurred. Case mix data were collected and the number drug administrations made during procedures estimated. From February 1998 Hospital from June 1999 B, until November 2003, 74,478 anaesthetics included, which 59,273 forms returned (a 79.6% response rate). Fewer errors occurred...
Progress Tests (PTs) draw on a common question bank to assess all students in programme against graduate outcomes. Theoretically PTs drive deep approaches learning and reduce assessment-related stress. In 2013, were introduced two year groups of medical (Years 2 4), whereas Years 3 5 taking traditional high-stakes assessments. Staged introduction into our curriculum provided time-limited opportunity for comparative study. The main purpose the current study was compare impact undergraduate...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Teamwork failures contribute to adverse events causing harm patients. Establishing and maintaining a team managing the tasks are active processes. Medical education largely ignores teamwork skills. However, lack of robust instruments measure limits evaluation interventions improve it. The authors aimed develop validate an instrument behaviours. <h3>Methods</h3> From existing literature, developed instrument, gaining rater consensus that final 23 items were...
