Simulation Speciality Lead Report in O & G

1. Simulation Speciality Lead Report in O & G Dib Datta, Simulation Lead, O & G, KSS

2. Simulation Faculty within MTW NHS Trust • Simulation Lead Paul Moran • A + E Peter Martin • Anaesthetics Cheron Bailey, Garth Somerville • Medicine Chris Thom • O & G Dib Datta, Maggie Matthews • Paediatrics Bim Bhaduri • Surgery Simon Bailey

3. Simulation: Trust Core Agenda • The Trust has a unified Simulation Training Committee/Faculty. • The Faculty is made up of dedicated people, with a wider circle of interested parties who can instigate and run courses • Speciality-led simulation sessions, rather than simulation lead-led on all occasions

4. Simulation: Trust Core Agenda • The remit of this Faculty will be to coordinate and control the funding of simulation training throughout the Trust • That the Faculty finds ways of generating funds from simulation • That we appoint a Practitioner to oversee maintenance of equipment, and to aid in organisation and running of courses

5. Simulation so far: MTW Trust • Sim Man and Gaumard Newborn HAL were purchased in 2010, with KSS Deanery funds and the SIFT fund • Sim Man was installed in the Clinical Skills Lab at the PGMEC with video links to a control room & a debrief/observation room • Laerdel-run training was provided for 8 consultants free of charge, in Mar ‘11

6. The Sim Mom

7. Simulation so far: MTW Trust • A trial run, (attended by an official of the KSS Deanery Education department was present) was conducted; where trainers offered simulation training to their colleagues before it was rolled out to trainees • FY1 Foundation trainees at MTW Trust commenced simulation training in Feb ’11 and completed it by May 2011 in order to complete their FY1 competences • The Trust has approximately 60 x F1 trainees.  This was done with 6 specific scenarios in 4 hr. afternoon sessions to accommodate groups of 5 FY1 trainees

8. O & G Simulation: Trust Agenda • To gain KSS Deanery grant to fund places for all the Trust’s FY2s to attend O & G simulation training sessions • Trust O&G half days, with emergency scenarios, with excellent feedback • Planning different simulation levels for FY2 & ST3/4 trainees, to reflect application of different levels of knowledge based skills

9. O & G Simulation @ KSS • Sim MoM launch by Laerdal on 4th July ’11 • Aim to purchase two such at £ 25,000 each for Maidstone & Chicester for equity in geographical spread across KSS

10. O & G Simulation @ KSS • KSS Deanery O & G Cttee Meeting (4th May ’11) have decided on KSS running 13 RTD’s in two years plus two inductions • There is a rolling programme from October, with an opportunity for ST1/ ST2 trainees to attend two simulation days/year

11. O & G Simulation @ KSS • Each RTD will comprise of ½ day of O & G simulation with ½ day of other topics; with the trainee group split in two; and interchanging in the AM & PM sessions • 13 RTD’s over 2 yrs would hence give @ 3-4 simulation learning opportunities per year

12. O & G Simulation @ KSS • Regional Training Days: 20/05/11 – Royal Surrey County Hospital 17/06/11 – Pembury Hospital 16/09/11 – London GSTT 09/12/11 – William Harvey Hospital • Simulation training to ST1/ ST2 trainees was imparted on 17th June ’11, with excellent feedback

13. O & G Simulation @ KSS • KSS O & G TPD & Lead for O & G Sim to visit Sim Training Day @ St. Thomas’s on 16/09/11 • The aim is to visit all Trusts; giving each Trust the opportunity to sell their unit to the trainees • Sim provision is for ST1/ ST2 only at this stage • There will need to be discussion about how this will work after the joint separation

14. O & G Simulation @ KSS • A poster for KSS O & G simulation is under development by Sim Lead & Jon Nodding, presented (separate attachment) • Two O & G simulation scenarios for high fidelity training have been developed by the KSS O & G Sim Lead, presented (separate attachment)
