Development and Evaluation of Simulation Training for PRP and PTPTs
South London and the Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust – on behalf of King’s Health Partners
Background
The NHS Long Term Plan sets out how pharmacy professionals will provide increasing levels of clinical care to patients. With these evolving roles, there is a need for innovative training models to enhance individual and team performance. Simulation training is widely used in other health professions, giving learners opportunities for deliberate practice in safe environments. Evidence suggests it provides trainees with powerful and transformative learning experiences that influence behaviour and fill knowledge gaps. This will contribute to giving trainees the right skills, values and behaviours at the right time and in the right place to meet patient needs.
Project Aim
The overall aim of our project is to establish a model and infrastructure for using simulation training in pre-registration pharmacy professionals.
Project Objectives
Establishing a pharmacy simulation training faculty that delivers and develops simulation training events beyond this project
Developing a pharmacy simulation training curriculum that meets the needs of stakeholders
Completing an evaluation of the project to inform on-going delivery of the simulation training programme
Outputs
A simulation scenario pack has been developed and can be accessed by Education Programme Leads via the HEE Pharmacy London Moodle account.
