Paediatric Emergency Medicine Simulation Day

The method of hi-fidelity Simulation training is now well-established as one of the best tools of learning in the medical training which brings the experience very close to the real world. The Health Education, EoE is running 8 courses of Paediatric Emergency Medicine simulation training in the region for all ST3 trainees in Emergency Medicine. DRE-EM trainees who are now in the year of their EM+PEM training, are also expected to attend on one of the days.

The simulation day may start with an introduction. Each trainee will be asked to manage a sick child in a simulation environment with the help of a nurse on a pre-determined scripts of scenarios. A scenario may run from 15 to 30 minutes; whilst one trainee manages the patient, the other 7 trainees would watch the proceedings through a one-way glass panel or via an audio- visual system depending on the facility provided at the venue. Following the termination of the scenario, the facilitator may run a debrief session involving all the 6 trainees and the nurse so that all can participate and contribute to the learning objectives.

A trainee has only one opportunity to attend this one day course in the region which will be run in a number of venues across the region from October 2021 to July 2022. Only 6 trainees will be allowed on one day. If a trainee cancels the course or fails to attend the day after the confirmation of the booking, they will have no opportunity to attend another one. 

This course is FREE to East of England Emergency Medicine ST3/DRE-EM trainees; however a £50.00 deposit is required to book a place which will be retained if you fail to attend the course or fail to provide 14 working days notice that you are unable to attend.
