Emergency Medicine Peer Led Teaching Programme 🚨

We’ve been supporting our FY2 doctors at LRI to design and construct a 5 session, peer-to-peer teaching programme. 🧑‍🏫

With the opportunity to receive consultant or senior registrar feedback on their teaching, our FY2 colleagues found this a great opportunity to share and consolidate learning, while bolstering their portfolio for specialty applications! 🙌

Feedback was consistently positive for this feasible, scalable and educationally effective teaching programme! 💯

We held our second adults procedural sedation course today! 💉

Based on RCEM guidance and UHL SOP, trainees were taught the theory knowledge required for safe practice, through a combination of group work discussion, quizzes and simulated learning. 🧑‍⚕️

The course highlighted medical aspects of procedural sedation, and equipped our SpRs with technical and non-technical skills. 🔧

The simulated scenarios were made to complement real world experience, testing our trainees as the simulated scenarios progressed and (purposefully) did not go to plan! 🚨 Clear leadership, communication techniques, and team situational awareness were important non-technical skills identified in this session.

We’ve now had 15 SpRs attend the course, with a few spaces available for any CT3+ trainees at our next workshop on January 30th! This will be followed by an OSCE-style sims session - watch this space! 👀
