Simulation Programmes

Simulation-based education sessions consist of pre-brief, scenarios, debrief and feedback using a variety of simulation platforms. Clinical divisions and departments in JurongHealth Campus typically engage in manikin-based simulation and part task skills training.

Participants perform simultaneous assessment, management and resuscitation of critical patients and apply Crisis Resource Management (CRM) strategies to achieve positive teamwork and clinical outcomes.

Participants develop technical skills required to attain clinical competency through part task trainers.

The following clinical divisions/departments in JurongHealth have developed training curriculum encompassing manikin-based simulations and part task skills training:

• Anaesthesia
• Emergency Medicine
• General Surgery
• Intensive Care Medicine
• Internal Medicine
• Nursing
• Orthopaedic Surgery
• Physiotherapy
• Respiratory Therapy

• Facilitate the importance of good airway management in emergency situations
• Apply knowledge and skills in rapid sequence intubation so as to gain competence in daily practice
• Troubleshoot pitfalls especially in oxygen therapy, bag-valve-mask ventilation and post-intubation care
• Apply a smooth algorithm in preparing for rapid sequence intubation in both anticipated and unanticipated difficult airway management via simulation
• Participate as a vital cog in the team approach to airway management via simulation

• Scenario-based simulation training after briefing followed by debriefing

• Lecture demonstrations & simulation training

• Junior Doctors
• Nurses who have completed Basic Airway course
• Respiratory Therapists from 2nd years onwards

• 4 hours

• Accurately interpret the ECG diagnos(es) of common arrhythmias and acute coronary syndromes
• Delineate the role of nurses and other members of the healthcare team in initiating proper triaging and interventions for common cardiac emergencies using simulation-based scenarios

• More complicated ECG rhythms like AF, Atrial flutter, blocks and their corresponding clinical correlations

• Lectures & in-depth case discussions in groups

• Junior Doctors
• Nurses who have completed basic ECG course
• Respiratory Therapists from 2nd years onwards

• 4 hours

• Accurately interpret the ECG diagnos(es) of common arrhythmias and acute coronary syndromes with concomitant review of ECG tracings from basic and intermediate courses
• Delineate the role of nurses and other members of the healthcare team in initiating proper triaging and interventions for more complicated cardiac emergencies using simulation-based scenarios

• Participants are immersed in an acute scenario entailing ECG interpretation followed by structured debriefing

• Lecture demonstrations, practicals & simulation training

• Junior Doctors
• Nurses who have completed Intermediate ECG course
• Respiratory Therapists who have completed Intermediate ECG course

• 4 hours

• Demonstrate effective teamwork, effective leadership, communication skills and situational awareness to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
• Demonstrate logical decision making with available information
• Demonstrate safe treatment practices including calling for help appropriately, workplace safety and mutual support
• Participants will learn to attend to all of the following at the same time:

  

• The translation of clinical knowledge and skills of individuals into effective real world activity of a team at the bedside of an acutely ill patient

• Lecture demonstrations, simulation-based scenarios & tutorials

• Doctors, nurses, AHPs

• 8 hours
