September 2009 St Vincent’s leads skills advancement
The modules cover advanced and basic life support, IV therapy, safe medication administration, nasogastric therapy, chest tube management, respiratory management and 12-lead ECG. With a simulation train-the-trainer package the module will teach clinical skills in the hospitals. Modules have been designed to develop participants’ knowledge, skills and behaviours. They expose them to increasingly complex scenarios to test their ability to combine individual skills, to work as a team and to solve problems in more difficult situations. Information contained in each module has been developed using evidence-based resources and examples of best practice. Each module is structured as a guide for clinical educators, who are encouraged to build on the modules by adding their own scenarios which incorporate hospital and health service protocols, policies and other resources. |
