SC48 Developing a simulation-based education workshop for psychiatric emergencies for national roll-out

Abstract

and disseminate the research findings of this six step approach (Arksey and O'Malley, 2005). Summary of project A search strategy was developed and refined in order to answer the research question 'What is known about how individuals, and their experiences of illness/ healthcare are represented by Simulated Participants (SP's) in Healthcare Professional Education (HPE)'. The search strategy was entered into five electronic databases-MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL. Initial citations were 9,795. Databases were modified, limiters applied to reflect <10 yrs, English, Article, Journal and Reviews. All 5,437 citations were imported into Covidence a review software. Once the duplicates were removed, 2,948 articles were independently screened by title and abstract. Disagreements were discussed until consensus was reached. Finally, full texts were reviewed to determine the articles eligible for inclusion in the review. In an iterative process key elements from articles were charted and a data extraction template was developed. To ensure that all relevant data is extracted according to the research question, all articles were assessed, and charted by the research team. Summary of results A summary of the information found will be shared, and results will be categorized by how patients are being represented by SP in the different articles. Finally, the results will be discussed and implications for further research, practice, and policy will be described. Discussion The implications of these findings will be discussed. Conclusions and recommendations Reviewers will consider how health professions educators can guarantee that authentic patient voices, and their experiences, are not lost or devalued in the Simulation Based Education (SBE) process; and will identify recommendations.

‘SafePsych’: delivering a multidisciplinary psychiatry simulation using remote technology — impact on learners and simulation facilitators

“…With the Department of Psychiatry at GUH, they have previously delivered a multidisciplinary simulation workshop on common psychiatric presentations. 7 Psychiatry staff were keen to develop a follow-on workshop and to include participants from emergency medicine (EM).…”
