Abstract

Abstract : Who should attend: healthcare professionals interested in behavioural and communications skills involved in preparation for challenging conversations. Level: Intermediate Background: This workshop emerges from interdisciplinary collaboration that has evolved over recent years between healthcare professionals at Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast and academic teachers and researchers at Queen's University Belfast. The shared focus is on how to prepare healthcare students and professionals for challenging conversations on issues such as infant mortality and psychiatric disturbance. In the workshop, the presenters will share their experience of collaborative education and lessons learned from a hybrid approach to behavioural skills training incorporating techniques from Konstantin Stanislavski's system of actor training. The workshop will involve in situ simulation involving performances from healthcare professionals engaging with simulated patients who are trained actors Intended Learning Outcomes: After this workshop participants will have: Learned how behavioural skills can complement and enhance clinical skills. Learned about how patient–centred care works from the perspective of the patient in a simulated scenario. Learned how to translate this knowledge into their own educational practice. Structure of workshop: General introductions, 'ground rules' and overview of session. First simulation involving sudden unexplained death of infant and conversation with the parents of the deceased child. Debrief and discussion. Second simulation involving a conversation with a disturbed psychiatric patient. Debrief and discussion. Conclusion, wrap up and take forward messages. Educational Methods to be used: In situ simulation involving performances from healthcare professionals engaging with simulated patients who are trained actors. Debriefing sessions following simulations in which participants can engage in detailed discussion about the nuances of high–fidelity, person–centred simulation.
