Our goal is to create a training program that all staff who work with children can use, no matter which hospital they work in. Staff will learn together in their own hospital departments using the same set of training materials, so everyone across the region receives consistent education.
We would like to include patient and family partners in this project because they can help us see things we might miss. We want to make sure our training reflects patient- and family‑centred care, and their feedback on our simulation cases would be very valuable. Our team tends to focus on clinical and technical skills, so having the perspective of patients and families – who see things differently – will make our training stronger and more complete.
This project is a collaboration between the Professional Practice Office, the Maternal Newborn Child & Youth Program, IH Simulation and myself as the project physician lead with in the IH leadership program NAVIG8. It is the first step in the overarching goal of standardizing all orientation, education and training for staff in pediatric care in our region. Phase 1 is the current project looking at developing an Interdisciplinary Simulation Program for all our staff. We are hoping to involve two patient or family partners in this work.
