High fidelity simulation to improve multidisciplinary team working with pre-registrants

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Healthcare Simulation
• Medical Training

Background:

• Simulation centers are increasingly integrated into international nursing curricula.
• These centers replicate clinical ward settings and equipment for practical student exposure.
• High-fidelity simulation training (HFST) utilizes advanced technology for realistic learning experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

• To reflect on a multidisciplinary HFST scenario within nursing education.
• To evaluate the scenario against the Nursing and Midwifery Council standards for assessment and accountability.
• To discuss the assessment, feedback, and evaluation processes inherent in HFST.

Main Methods:

• A multidisciplinary high-fidelity simulation training scenario was implemented.
• The scenario was analyzed in the context of the Nursing and Midwifery Council's standards.
• Processes of assessment, feedback, and evaluation were discussed.

Main Results:

• HFST aligns with key domains of the Nursing and Midwifery Council standards.
• Multidisciplinary scenarios offer a comprehensive learning environment.
• Effective assessment and feedback mechanisms are crucial for HFST success.

Conclusions:

• High-fidelity simulation training is a valuable pedagogical tool in nursing education.
• HFST effectively prepares nursing students for clinical practice and professional accountability.
• Continuous evaluation of simulation processes enhances learning outcomes and meets regulatory standards.
