A-MHP-zing Race
🚨 Ready, set, save lives!
In preparation for a massive hemorrhage protocol (MHP) simulation, staff at the Misericordia hospital participated in an Amazing Race-inspired educational event called A-MHP-zing Race.
This gamification approach enabled staff to practice as part of a combined learning experience, incorporating both theoretical knowledge and hands-on application.
The exercise gave staff the tools necessary to be successful for the upcoming MHP simulation day.

Innovative dementia simulation training helps Grey Nuns staff understand and empathize with patients
Kari Rajotte is helping staff understand and empathize with patients who have dementia.
She recently led a series of innovative dementia simulation training sessions for the medicine program at the Grey Nuns hospital as part of its annual staff education initiatives.
The training, supported by the Covenant Health simulation team, immerses participants in a world that mimics the sensory and cognitive challenges of the illness to simulate what an individual might experience when receiving care as a patient and help participants better equip themselves to provide person-centred care.
It covers concepts like de-escalation and redirection, featuring an actor to assist participants with the simulated activities.
