Abstract:
This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, there was an urgent need to establish a teaching programme to rapidly upskill hospital staff in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Aims: to train all members of clinical and non-clinical staff operating within the respiratory department of the Royal Brompton Hospital over a period of one week, using a series of multi-professional simulation-based sessions and to then share the learning points gained in order to assist others facing the same issue. Results: using an iterative style and a mastery learning model, the designated teaching faculty rapidly implemented a situated teaching programme, managing to train all staff members within the given timeframe. Given the time-critical nature of the programme, sessions required considerable flexibility to change to fit a learner-driven agenda, drawing benefits from an andragogical approach and an emphasis on interprofessional learning.
