Simulcast

At our live ‘Simulcast presents..” session at the Australasian Simulation Congress, Vic interviewed Sarah Janssens (@SJanssensSimOG), an Obstetrician / Gynaecologist ad simulation leader from the Mater Hospital. They speak about Sarah’s research on shared leadership in maternity teams – including models of leadership, measures of team performance, and what it means for how we train teams in simulation.  The two papers we discussed were.  Janssens S., Simon R, Beckmann M., Marshall, Stuart Shared Leadership in Healthcare Action Teams: A Systematic Review. Journal of Patient Safety: June 4, 2018   Janssens S, Simon R, Barwick S, et al. Leadership sharing in maternity emergency teams: a retrospective cohort study in simulation BMJ Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning Published Online First: 07 February 2019. 

STORK team @LankyTwig  STORK team (Simulation Training Optimising Resuscitation in Kids) from Children’s Health Queensland provides simulation based education throughout Queensland. Check out the OPTIMUS Bonus Content at https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/practice-made-perfect/  

Nemat Alsaba @talk2nemat    Nemat drops in for #HcSimWeek19 to share about 2 great sim projects she is involved with at Gold Coast University Hospital and Bond University

Stephanie Barwick @InSituSteph  Steph dropped by for #HcSimWeek19 to share the work of the Mater Education team. Definitely big friends of Simulcast and hosts of the Simulcast Journal Curry Club!

Vic speaks with Kirsty Forrest (@forrest_kirsty) Glance about simulation, book writing and lifelong learning. Kirsty and Judy McKimm have co-edited an easy to read book with diverse contributors.  The book can be viewed/ purchased here.   https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Healthcare+Simulation+at+a+Glance-p-9781118871836   

Looking for great online simulation education resources for yourself or for your team’s faculty development?   In this episode Vic speaks with Christina Choung (@ckchoung) and Karen Schafer (@KarenShafer) from Vancouver Coastal Health about their new resources at https://bcsimulation.ca/  (you can also get there via https://simulation.vchlearn.ca/ )  We talked about the content of these modules, the challenges of faculty development, and some lessons learned for those of us trying to develop online resources in simulation education.  @BCSimNet  on Twitter

The Australasian Simulation Congress is on 2nd–5th September at the Gold Coast. Check out the website-https://www.simulationcongress.com/ Vic spoke to Sharon Clipperton (@sjclipperton), the Congress convenor about the keynote speakers, abstracts and other highlights of the event. We also spoke with Komal Bajaj (@KomalBajajMD) about her talk–change, sustainability and ‘new power’ in simulation....The Simulcast team will be covering proceedings, as well as hosting a “Simulcast presents” session with interviews, and a live journal club recording on stage! See you there.

This is a mini episode update on how we at Simulcast would love to celebrate healthcare simulation week 2019.

Ben and Vic discuss the paper of the month,   Bochatay, N., Bajwa, N., Blondon, K., Junod Perron, N., Cullati, S. and Nendaz, M. (2019). Exploring group boundaries and conflicts: a social identity theory perspective. Medical Education.    We also discussed 3 other papers covering a theme of ‘non-technical skills’.  Hamilton AL, Kerins J, MacCrossan MA, et al Medical Students’ Non-Technical Skills (Medi-StuNTS): preliminary work developing a behavioural marker system for the non-technical skills of medical students in acute care BMJ Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning 2019;5:130-139.  Johnson AP, Aggarwal R Assessment of non-technical skills: why aren’t we there yet? BMJ Quality & Safety 2019;28:606-608.  Hughes PG, Ahmed RA Blindfolded trauma team resuscitation: a strategy for improved leadership and communication BMJ Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning 2019;5:174-175.  And Ben introduced the paper for August  Stokes-Parish, J., Duvivier, R. and Jolly, B. (2019). Expert opinions on the authenticity of moulage in simulation: a Delphi study. Advances in Simulation, 4(1).      So we’ll be back at the beginning of September with our wrap – recorded live at the Australasian Simulation Congress .  Join the discussion at www.simulationpodcast.com    Victoria
