Social distancing in the current climate
As we continue to evaluate face to face education, skill stations will be capped at 4 participants per workshop.
2021 dates to be announced.
In 2015-2018 The MEO surveyed the JRMO on their top 10 fears when commencing in paediatrics. One of the major fears was procedural skills within a complex paediatric environment.
In collaboration with medical education, the simulation team and medical experts within RCH, a skills station program was designed to allay these fears and build on the JRMO’s own knowledge, allowing them to access information and practice where they feel gaps exist.
- An eLearn to provide underpinning knowledge.
- A facilitator-led simulated workshop to practice skills in as safe environment and learn “tips and tricks” of the procedure.
- Supervised practice on the ward.
These are the skills stations that have been devised; and run on a monthly basis.
- IV cannulation
- Lumbar Puncture
- Intraosseous Access (IO)
- Fractures and plastering in children
- SPA eLearn only
