Simulation-based Education (Distance Learning)
Introduction:
Simulation-based education plays a pivotal role in enhancing patient safety by providing practitioners with a secure environment to rehearse and refine their skills.
At Sheffield Hallam University, our simulation module is led by an experienced academic, adept in simulation techniques and debriefing facilitation. Dr. Nick White, the Module Leader, has two decades of experience in simulation teaching, spearheading numerous simulation projects. With both an MSc in Medical and Healthcare Simulation and a Doctorate in Education, his expertise ensures a comprehensive learning experience.
Target Audience:
This module caters to healthcare and social care professionals engaged in education, offering insights into leveraging simulation-based education for teaching technical and non-technical skills.
Benefits:
Participants will embark on designing, executing, and debriefing simulation exercises, fostering a deeper understanding of contemporary simulation and debriefing theories. This equips individuals to integrate simulation-based education effectively into their workplace practices, benefiting both the organisation and patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
The module introduces participants to key theories surrounding simulation-based education, including feedback/debriefing, skill acquisition, deliberate practice, and skill decay.
Key Areas Covered:
Exploration of simulation modalities, accompanied by an overview of pertinent philosophies and theories.
Discussion and practical application of facilitation and debriefing techniques.
Examination of skill acquisition, skill decay, and deliberate practice principles.
Exploration of the policy context surrounding simulation-based education.
Acquired Skills:
Participants will cultivate independent study skills to access and utilise evidence effectively, empowering them to apply best practices in their professional settings.
