The Royal Children's Hospital – Simulation

A course for Anaesthetic Nurses and Anaesthetic Technicians. Recognised CPD by ANZCA for Anaesthetic Emergency Response “Cardiac Arrest” modules in Paediatric Anaesthesia. Facilitated by The Royal Children’s Hospital Simulation Program and the Department of Anaesthesia. Course Content: Paediatric Advanced Life Support/Cardiac Arrest Module: This 3.5 hour module is an ANZCA CPD accredited Emergency Response Module, including skills and simulation based education in Advanced Paediatric Life Support and team training during paediatric anaesthesia emergency response scenarios. Pre-reading material will be emailed out in advance and is a requirement for the course.

A course for Anaesthetists, Anaesthetic Trainees and GP Anaesthetists. Recognised CPD by ANZCA for Anaesthetic Emergency Response “Cardiac Arrest” and “CICO” modules in Paediatric Anaesthesia. The program includes two modules: 1. Paediatric Advanced Life Support/Cardiac Arrest Module: This 3.5 hour module is an ANZCA CPD accredited Emergency Response Module, including skills and simulation based education in Advanced Paediatric Life Support and team training during paediatric anaesthesia emergency response scenarios. 2. CICO module: The 4 hour CICO (Can't Intubate, Can't Oxygenate) module is ANZCA CPD accredited Emergency Response Module. It introduces basic CICO concepts and techniques for those who have not attended CICO courses before, and also highlights the differences between the management of the CICO emergency in children and adults. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss theory, , and practice techniques on paediatric tracheal models.

The Royal Children’s Hospital Simulation Train the Trainer Program provides clinicians the fundamentals in preparing to become effective simulation facilitators and educators. This workshop provides participants with the underpinning knowledge, skills, and practical frameworks required to design and deliver high-quality simulation-based education. This program is designed for: • Clinicians aiming to enhance their simulation based teaching and debriefing skills • Educators and facilitators and involved in workforce training • Professionals supporting onboarding, competency development, or continuing education • Staff working in patient safety, quality improvement, or organisational training initiatives • Individuals beginning their journey in simulation focused education The two-day program covers foundational simulation theory, principles of educational design, and strategies for creating a safe, supportive, and psychologically secure learning environment and debriefing modalities. Day 1: Foundations of Simulation-Based Education • Building the Educational Base • Human factors in simulation • Preparing Effective Simulation Sessions • Scenario Design & Development • Practical Tools for Simulation Delivery Day 2: Debriefing, Facilitation & Performance Improvement Debriefing Methods & Frameworks • Pause and Discuss • Plus Delta and Modified Plus Delta • Advocacy–Inquiry (including structured tools) • VEMS (Visually Enhanced Mental Simulations) • Debriefing frameworks and structured techniques • Exploring and Closing Performance Gaps • Managing Challenging Debriefs • Simulation Facilitation Skills Dates: Tuesday 17th November & Wednesday 18th November Time: 8:00 - 17:00 Each program will host a maximum number of 12 participants. Please note that the session will only run provided there are six or more participants registered. Participants may be able to claim CPD hours in line with their professional requirements. A certificate of completion will be provided.

It builds on the participants foundational knowledge gained by day 1 & 2, by providing hands-on practice, expert mentorship, and structured peer feedback to further refine facilitation skills. The program focuses on applying core skills in: • Scenario design • Applying a range of debriefing methodologies • Understanding simulation technology components and moulage design • Scenario design and refinement • Applying a range of debriefing methodologies • Simulation technology and moulage fundamentals Interprofessional Scenario Participation Participants rotate through facilitator, participant, and observer roles across three interprofessional simulation scenarios — including scenarios they may have designed during the program. Tailored Coaching & Feedback Throughout the day, each participant receives individualised coaching and structured feedback from the RCH Simulation Team to consolidate and elevate their facilitation practice. Dates: Wednesday 25th, Thursday 26th & Friday 27th November (optional). Time: 8:00 - 17:00 Each program will host a maximum number of 12 participants.
