Paediatric and Neonatal Simulation Instructor Course (International Edition)The MPROvE Academy is organising an international simulation instructor course in the Middle East on the 26th and 27th of October 2024 at the Beach Rotana Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Background Maintaining a comprehensive approach to healthcare emergency preparedness is at the forefront of departments in Paediatrics and Neonatology across the Middle East. One of the key components is to build a competent, skilled, and compassionate healthcare workforce through inter-professional education and training in patient safety. Simulation-based training plays a pivotal role in quality improvement and patient safety. Importantly, the role of simulation is not limited to training health care professionals; it has the potential to act as an excellent tool for systems and facility changes, which in turn improves patient safety and outcomes. Although simulation training has been in practice in other industries, such as aviation, for a long time, healthcare professionals are still learning to implement this teaching modality to help MPROvE patient outcomes, patient safety and Quality of Care. Advanced Simulation Instructor Training- One of the most important prerequisites for simulation training is trained faculty who are accredited and credible in the delivery of health care simulation.. There is an abundance of medical faculties across the Middle East wanting higher skills in simulation-based education. Therefore, MPROvE academy has taken the initiative to introduce this “Training the Trainer programme” to healthcare professionals who are already medical teachers and experienced clinicians. Since 2012 we have trained and run simulation courses for thousands of clinicians, nurses, RTs and health care practitioners. This course helps to train individuals to become simulation facilitators, but the aim is the faculty development of multidisciplinary teams. Our program offers comprehensive training about simulation-based methodology in running simulations, debriefing, and advanced principles that make it a modality of improving staff performance and patient outcomes. Training includes learning how to develop faculty, run and administer programmes cost-effectively and use simulation and technology-enhanced learning as a tool in their set-up. The MPROvE team delivers the simulation instructor course in 2 modules.
Module 1 - The module includes a two-day face-to-face interactive workshop. It comprises a series of interactive lectures, demonstrations and opportunities to practice the skills needed to become a simulation facilitator. It introduces participants to simulation and debriefing in neonatology, accident and emergency medicine, anaesthetics, Obstetrics and paediatrics.
Module 2: This module is a 12-week mentored online session to refine the skills further. This also helps to obtain certification as a simulation facilitator and trainer. We assure you that you will become a trained facilitator with the required competencies to confidently conduct/ train/ teach at your institutes. Module 2 enables advanced practice, formal accreditation of skills and formal certification.
We strongly recommend the programme to all the healthcare teachers/trainers/faculty to further enhance their overall training skills, mainly focusing on translational learning through simulation.

AAA in Action: Age-Appropriate Attributes of Developmental Care for the Preterm Newborn
AAA in Action: Age-Appropriate Attributes of Developmental Care for the Preterm Newborn is a World Prematurity Day workshop that explores the critical role of developmental care during the period of rapid brain growth in preterm infants. Participants will gain practical insights into recognising age-appropriate developmental attributes, delivering individualised neuroprotective interventions, engaging families as partners in care, and implementing evidence-based developmental care practices within the NICU through the Assess, Adapt, and Advance (AAA) framework. The workshop is designed for neonatal healthcare professionals committed to improving developmental outcomes for vulnerable newborns.
Workshop Objectives
Participants will be able to:
✅ Differentiate developmental and sensory characteristics of preterm infants across key postmenstrual age groups and relate them to developmental care needs.
✅ Demonstrate selection of age-appropriate multisensory and neuroprotective developmental care interventions based on infant maturity, stability, and behavioural organisation.
✅ Design strategies to engage parents as active partners in delivering positive sensory experiences and developmental care within the NICU.
✅ Develop an individualised, age-appropriate developmental care plan that integrates infant assessment, sensory experiences, family participation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
This workshop is ideal for:
Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Speech‑Language Pathologists working in neonatal settings
Neonatal Nurses, Developmental Specialists, and NICU Care Teams
Medical and Allied Health Students interested in neonatal therapy and developmental care
Hospital Administrators and Educators seeking to implement evidence‑based NICU practices

Individualized Newborn Developmental Intervention Application – Evidence-based (INDIA EBUS) for Preterm Babies (World Prematurity Day 2022)
World Prematurity Day 2022
Individualized Newborn Developmental Intervention Application – Evidence-based (INDIA EBUS) for Preterm Babies
Introduction
Because advances in preterm neonatal survival have overtaken advances in preterm birth prevention, the impact of long-term problems on these survivors is becoming more well recognised. Extreme prematurity's neurologic implications range from moderate behavioural and cognitive abnormalities to severe impairment. The goal of perinatal neuroprotection is to reduce these effects. Let's discuss about how we can make a difference with new and revolutionary INDIA EBUS (Individual Newborn Developmental Intervention Application – Evidence-based & Ultra SMART).
Objectives
At the end of presentation, the participants will be able to
• Enumerate five different aspects of Developmental care of the preterm babies.
• Justify the need of Individualized Developmental Intervention in the NICU
• Explain at least three environmental modifications and stimulation as per the age of the premature baby.
Duration – 45 minutes
Date – 17th November, 2022 @1730 hours.
Venue –
Ace children’s Hospital, Dombivli
Star Colony, Nandivali Panchanand, Dombivli East, Dombivli, Maharashtra 421201
Speaker –
Hemant Nandgaonkar, Occupational Therapist, Mumbai.
Hemant is Mumbai based Occupational Therapist. He is currently the President of the Association of Neonatal Therapists in India and the Faculty for Development and Supportive Care for Newborns and Children.
Audience
Neonatal nurses, neonatologists, paediatricians, Gynaecologists, Neonatal therapists and all other stakeholders involved in NICU care
