Flashcard Team Training

Flash Card Team Training is an emerging resource that provides the opportunity to talk through short clinical scenarios during the busy working day in theatre. This concept was applied in the design and piloting of a flash card pack at East Kent Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.  Ccenarios include emergencies and patient safety issues, and aim to raise awareness of the human factors which impact on patient safety.

Simulated Anaesthetic Scenarios

Simulated Anaesthesia Scenarios (SAS) is a Royal Bournemouth Hospital Anaesthetic Sim Faculty initiative, created to improve access to simulation for the whole anaesthetic team. These are real time, unscripted simulations, covering the Association of Anaesthetists guidance for management of anaesthetic emergencies.

This resource is intended as a refresher for those returning to work, a revision aid for trainees with exams approaching, an educational tool for novice anaesthetists, a CPD tool for experienced anaesthetists wanting to update their emergency management and a freely accessible tool to be used on courses to guide simulation training or demonstrate human factors.

With education increasingly taking place online, we hope that these scenarios bridge the gap between guidelines and reality and, in part, make up for the current difficulties surrounding delivery of hands-on training.

New videos will be added regularly, initially covering emergencies and moving on to provide a comprehensive resource to complement the core anaesthetic curriculum.

Anaesthetic Critical Incident Drills (ACID) 

ACID is a simulation-based education package that can be delivered with minimal equipment. It is aligned with the novice anaesthesia skills and drills requirement of the curriculum, and is free to download and use. More information on its design and use can be found in the documents.
