PHU Simulation Centre

First feedback from participants “it was great to be able to check things and use the system we actually use at work” 👏

This week we successfully implemented the electronic administration system used in PHU in simulation training! A lot of work from our Pharmacist System Manager, IT Team and the Digimeds Team in PHU to ensure we could offer realistic training to all staff 👏👏👏@PHUDIGITAL

Yesterday we had great discussions to improve practice and safety with the Interventional Radiology Team. They had to manage a patient with anaphylaxis caused by contrast administration 💉 @AElrick_PHU @RGonzalezPHU

We continued our week with 2 back to back sessions for the Cardiology Department Nurses. Assessment, escalation, team work and using the femostop! The participants were impressed with Vivien’s realism and @peterthesimtech moulage of an arterial femoral hematoma @RGonzalezPHU
