Research Project: Simulation Training for GP Trainees for Video Consultation
Interested in more simulation training opportunities? Want to gain experience in video consulting?
We’ve already had 6 GP trainees sign up for this project, but are still looking for more. This is a brilliant chance to get more training and feedback and to practise skills in consultation - particularly for those of you who have had challenges in your training due to COVID 19.
Due to the COVID 19 pandemic and social distancing, healthcare workers have had to adapt to different ways of working and training. This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of paediatric simulation training for video consultation for GPSTs, as well as discussion of the wider use of technology in healthcare settings. GPSTs taking part in the project will carry out two simulated video consultations, with feedback and training provided in between. These will be recorded and blindly assessed according to the Pendleton consultation assessment tool.
