5000 people enrol on Becoming Simulation Faculty Programme

Posted on: July 24th, 2024 by Charlotte Murray No Comments

The NHS England TEL team launched Becoming Simulation Faculty (BSF) as a national blended learning programme to support the professional development of simulation educators, practitioners, technicians and managers in health and care.  Over 5000 people have now enrolled since its launch. 

The programme delivers a national approach to simulation faculty development, enhancing professional capabilities and supporting continuing professional development of multi-disciplinary teams.   

Co-designed and authored with experts from across the simulation community in the UK, BSF addresses the current variability in professional development opportunities across the country, ensures equitable access to learning and enhances simulation and immersive learning practices at scale.    

It aligns with the ambitions of the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, the Educator Workforce Strategy and the National Safety Syllabus by supporting hybrid education and workforce development, ensuring high-quality, safe care delivery.   

The programme is running a core course (6 theory-based online elearning topics and a face-to-face workshop) throughout 2024. Topics include Educational Theory in Simulation Based Education (SBE), Creating a Simulated Learning Environment and Debriefing and Feedback. From 2025 the course will be extended to cover advanced learning opportunities such as Simulated Patients and Developing the simulation technician. To date, we have delivered successful workshops in 2 of the 8 regions of England, with several more planned over the coming months. Feedback from recent delegates has been excellent;  

“A really great day and thought provoking, thank you!” 

“The activities were really helpful and very relevant”

New sessions available on stopping over-medication of people with a learning disability and autistic people

Posted on: June 19th, 2024 by Charlotte Murray No Comments

The collection of four new sessions aim to provide a journey through Stopping Over Medication of People with a learning disability and autistic people (STOMP) and how to bring about these improvements in care that are at the heart of programme. They build on the existing, introductory modules 1-6, and focus on challenging inappropriate prescribing and how people can stay well when medication is reduced.

Developed by NHS England’s eLearning for healthcare programme (elfh) and the MindEd platform in collaboration and partnership with NHS England’s STOMP team, the first three sessionsaimed at specialist health and social care professionals, introduce and explain how inappropriate prescribing can be identified and potentially challenged. They focus on how to consider, monitor and evaluate the reduction of medication and how to identify and manage some of the consequences commonly encountered.

The final session is for people with a learning disability or who may be autistic and their family or other carers. It uses a fictional case study to illustrate how to challenge inappropriate prescribing of medication and what alternatives to medication there are so that you can manage your health and stay well:

If you are a person with a learning disability, an autistic person, a family member, support worker or carer, someone with an interest in STOMP or a health or social care professional, there is something for you. Each session will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and will have an introduction outlining who the session is aimed at. Some sessions, written for all, have downloadable easy read PDF versions.

Note that while available widely, this content is written with a UK/England context in mind.

In this new session learners can find out more about how to integrate whole school and college approaches for bullying and mental health and wellbeing. This includes what this means in practice for young people, families, schools, colleges and local partners. This final module; Collaborating to deal with bullying, builds on the previous three sessions which explore the causes and effects of bullying on children and young people.

Developed by the MindEd programme in NHS England’s eLearning for healthcare programme (elfh) in collaboration and partnership with experts by experience, the four modules provide up-to-date definitions of bullying and cyber bullying and guides the learner through a range of evidence-based interventions to address bullying in a school or college setting.

Each module takes approximately 30minutes to complete and through the use of scenarios and short narrative videos, they provide practical guidance and learning points on how and when to intervene to prevent bullying or cyber bullying.
