Paediatric Step Up to Registrar Simulation Course

Paediatric Step Up to Registrar Simulation Course

Add to favourites

This is a simulation based course tailored to ST2 paediatric doctors preparing for transition to registrar training at ST3 level.

Course information

This is a 3 day programme with 3 days specifically spread across the year. These days are individual days with different learning objectives therefore can be booked and done independently. They are however designed to be done together as a series to complement and support your training in the year leading up to the transition to registrar level training.

Day 1: The acute deteriorating patient

Learning objectives

The aim of this day is to focus on leading the management of the acutely unwell/ deteriorating paediatric patient.

We have a highly skilled expert faculty who will support you to develop skills in leading the management of a variety of common paediatric emergency scenarios. The teaching will be delivered through a mixture of immersive simulation, table-top exercises and communication simulation sessions. There will be opportunity for peer to peer learning which is provided by resident doctor colleagues who have recently been through this same transition. All content delivered is aligned to the RCPCH curriculum and specifically designed to address learning needs at this crucially important part of your training.

Structure of the day

Immersive simulation scenarios
Table-top preparation for registrar exercises (e.g. prioritisation)
Peer to peer learning and a chance to ask questions of colleagues who have recently been through this transition
Communication simulation exercises

Day 2: Focus on neonates

Learning objectives

The aim of this day is to focus on leading the management of the acutely unwell/ deteriorating neonates.

We have a highly skilled expert faculty who will support you to develop skills in leading the management of a variety of common neonatal emergency scenarios. We will focus on both common newborn neonatal presentations (including neonatal skills sessions) and late neonatal presentations within the neonatal and paediatric scope of practice. The teaching will be delivered through a mixture of immersive simulation, skills simulation, table-top exercises and communication simulation sessions. There will be opportunity for peer to peer learning which is provided by resident doctor colleagues who have recently been through this same transition. All content delivered is aligned to the RCPCH curriculum and specifically designed to address learning needs at this crucially important part of your training (ST2).

Day 3: A night shift in the life of a registrar

Learning objectives

The aim of this day is to take you through a simulated night shift as a registrar.

We have a highly skilled expert faculty who will support you to consolidate your skills in leadership, prioritisation and management through a simulated night shift as a registrar. This will be a safe space to discuss potential management and leadership decisions with faculty and peers and somewhere to ask questions. The teaching will be delivered through a mixture of immersive simulation, table-top exercises and communication simulation sessions. There will be opportunity for peer to peer learning which is provided by resident doctor colleagues who have recently been through this same transition. All content delivered is aligned to the RCPCH curriculum and specifically designed to address learning needs at this crucially important part of your training.
