Acute Medical Emergencies Simulation Course

Category: Training - Simulation

Date: April 24th 2015

Location: Bristol Medical Simulation Centre, Post Graduate Medical Education Centre, Bristol Royal Infirmary

 

This course is designed to help medical trainees learn about familiar and less familiar medical emergencies in a realistic, non-threatening and fun environment.

State of the art medical simulation facilities are put to good use with consultant and senior SpR led small group sessions designed to challenge and educate at the same time. Scenarios are changed for each course and simulate a ward environment with (in)complete notes and radiology, helpful (or not) F1s and phone negotiations with tired and grumpy consultants. 

Topics on previous courses have included:

  • Variceal bleeding and chronic liver disease (with spectacular special effects!)
  • Bradycardia and transthoracic pacing
  • Respiratory failure and use of NIV
  • Hands on teaching on USS guided central line placement and Sengstaken tube
  • Advanced communication and ethical dilemmas

We aim to cover some of the emergency, "top 20" and generic skills described in the portfolio curriculum on each course. Each course is different covering different sections of the curriculum so feel free to attend more than one during your CMT training.

The course is currently open to CMT, broad based and ACCS trainees, but course charges differ as below:

CMT trainees:  Free
ACCS CT2b (AIM):  Free
Broad based trainees:  £50
ACCS year other than CT2b:  £50
