Resuscitation Scenario Training
on Shona in Sierra Leone (Sierra Leone), 10/Feb/2011 18:03, 34 days ago
We held resusc scenario training for the medical officers last week. It was the second time we’ve done this and it was a lot of fun. They really got into the swing of things and stimulated some good discussion about hypoglycaemia, documentation, communication with parents and nursing staff and handover to other medical staff. I had fun being the instructor while the medical officers also (seemed to) enjoy the role-playing. I’ve found that I really enjoy teaching and training medical staff, nursing staff and medical students. There are so many simple things that, if done well, could really make a difference to paediatric care (and child and infant mortality) so I’ve really been keeping to the basics when teaching to try to improve quality of health care. However its one thing telling someone something and another to actually get them to do it when I’m not around….!
