S5: Simulated Patient Methodology (0900-1200hrs)

This module introduces some core facets of simulated patient (SP) methodology. The focus is on preparing SPs to work in healthcare simulations. The module describes a systematic approach to SP methodology. The module addresses issues at the level of the clinical training program (e.g. scenario development, alignment with curriculum, assessment etc) and at the level of the individual SP (e.g. casting, performance training etc). You are encouraged to think creatively about the breadth of content to which SPs can contribute to your own practice and to reflect on current approaches.

S12: Simulation based inter-professional education (IPE) (1300-1600hrs)

This module provides you with an opportunity to reflect on how simulation can support the development of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP). That is, the ways in which individuals from different professions, disciplines, craft groups and other service roles work together to provide the highest quality care for patients and their families. This module addresses ways in which simulation may support the development of IPCP. We explore some of the complex interprofessional language, we share what several people have to say about IPCP, we invite you to think about your own IPCP, what you do well, what you might improve. We consider evidence on the contribution of simulation to IPCP, learn from others about getting started in interprofessional simulation and then focus on developing your own practice. The e-learning revisits information from the core modules and many of the optional modules too.
