Minor changes to the assessment profile of the course were made at the validation committee, with the result that for MDM 149 (Feedback and Debriefing) a portfolio of experience will have to completed detailing participant’s teaching, reflection and peer observation of any SBME in their teaching role. This will replace the original assessment format (essay & reflective piece).

For those who have already attended the module during 2015 further information will be sent to you individually.

The local organising group will be meeting with members of the executive committee later this week in Brighton to finalise some of the arrangements for the November conference. We will be contacting local experts in SBME to participate as facilitators for the abstract sessions. Contact Andy Collins if you are interested.

“Dear Wesley and Martin,

I thought I would write to say an enormous thank you for a most enjoyable few days on the simulation module recently.  The group of candidates have been great together which must surely be regarded as a compliment to the faculty.

 I thought that the structure to the debrief module was excellent.   I found value in most if not all the components of the module.  Personally I think I have a greater understanding of the power of and the purpose of the debrief as a result of the opportunity to explore the different components of the debrief as laid out in the structure.  Particularly memorable components are exploring the understanding of aspects of feedback and the reflective practice”.

From one of the participants on the last module (with permission):

There will be a series of one day workshops available during this year which will cover the following topics for members of the NHS workforce:

1. Feedback and Debriefing in Education (March 25th)
2. Human Factors in Simulation Based Education
3. Peer Observation of Teaching (POT) Training
4. Team work using simulation

For all of these courses there will be a limited number of funded places. Dates for the workshops will be posted on this website.

The taught component of the F&D module was completed earlier this week with a good response and evaluation  from the particpants. Presentations for the Work Based Project will complete the module on March 12th.

The final stage in validation of the PG Cert will take place in March 2015.

Further modular dates for both simulation based modules will be posted on this site soon, and it is anticpated that late June will be the next oportunity to enrol on MDM 148 (Principles and Practice), and then again in November.
