In the wake of the Manchester bombings and London terror attacks, being able to respond in an appropriate fashion to a major incident is becoming increasingly important for healthcare students in all ...fields, along with working within a multi-disciplinary environment.We looked to develop an inter-professional simulation exercise using major incident style training. Our student nurses and paramedics worked with qualified doctors and advanced clinical practitioners in interdisciplinary teams imitating real life. A simultaneous simulation exercise demonstrating the patient journey.The key element of this exercise was the ‘hands off’ facilitation style. The patient scenarios had a brief outline, but what followed was fluid and responsive in real time to the actions of the students. There was no active facilitation during the simulation, allowing the students to be fully immersed in the scenario.The hands off approach allowed students to put their leadership skills into practice; learning in a safe environment in a real time situation, enhancing innovative thinking through real time simulation and debriefing. This promoted learning and working together across the multi-disciplinary field with both qualified and pre-registration students.All students completed a pre and post exercise questionnaire designed to get an idea of the current level of experience around simulation training and what the students’ expectations were.The questionnaire highlighted the lack of simulated activity that the nursing students had in comparison to the paramedic students. This was noted on the day of the exercise as the student nurses were more apprehensive prior to the activity. Within the questionnaire the student nurses more frequently highlighted their need for improved confidence. The post questionnaire results showed very positive feedback and calls for more simulated learning from both student nurses and paramedics. All responses were positive when asked about interdisciplinary working. The feedback in all cases supported that the exercise had not only met but exceeded the students’ expectations.The key emerging themes from the project so far are; students’ educational expectations, experience of multidisciplinary working, the theory to practice gap, training in a safe environment. The work around analysing the data gained from the simulation exercise is still a work in progress, but it is already informing and developing practice across the School.
The application of a Suzuki cross coupling approach to a range of C-4 substituted sydnones from a 4-bromosydnone is described. Moreover, the potential of this approach to prepare a diverse range of ...pyrazoles is demonstrated.
The scope of Business Skills for Engineers and Technologists is wider than many traditional business texts, including hot topics such as e-commerce, business ethics and law, as well as fully ...up-to-date coverage of management issues and finance. The interactive style of the book is ideally suited for the study of business and management topics. Rather than focussing solely on management theory, the subjects are explored within real-world engineering contexts through numerous case studies and activities, which bring the content to life and create a highly accessible text for the student reader. The IIE Textbook Series from Butterworth-Heinemann * Student-focused textbooks with numerous examples, activities, problems and knowledge-check questions * Designed for a wide range of undergraduate courses * Real-world engineering examples at the heart of each book * Core texts suitable for students with no previous background studying engineering "I am very proud to be able to introduce this series as the fruition of a joint publishing venture between Butterworth-Heinemann and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers. Mechanical Engineering Systems is one of the first three titles in a series of core texts designed to cover the essential modules of a broad cross-section of undergraduate programmes in engineering and technology. These books are designed with today's students firmly in mind, and real-world engineering contexts to the fore - students who are increasingly opting for the growing number of courses that provide the foundation for Incorporated Engineer registration." --Peter F Wason BSc(Eng) CEng FIEE FIIE FIMechE FIMgt. Secretary and Chief Executive, IIE This essential text is part of the IIE accredited textbook series from Newnes - textbooks to form the strong practical, business and academic foundations for the professional development of tomorrow's incorporated engineers. * Content matched to requirements of IIE and other BSc Engineering and Technology courses * An essential textbook, providing all the information for student engineers preparing to work in a business environment, including hot topics such as e-commerce and business ethics * Student-centred text featuring worked examples, case studies, assignments and knowledge-check questions throughout
