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 2enables 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.
