#NZASH 2024 Presentation from Alice and Jo- High Acuity Low Occurance (HALO) clinical events and the newest simulation scenarios added to Dunedin Hospital Simulation Team's programmes: bariatric fall, de-escalation and Local Anaesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST).

#NZASH 2024 Avatar Set Designer Eric Saindon, shared insights into CGI filmmaking as well as an experience of holding an Oscar!

Dunedin Hospital's qualitative research on simulation facilitation shared at #NZASH 2024

Kate Stephens, ICU Consultant from Dunedin, presented her research on elevated car size in the new DPH build. A fantastic research using sim which challenged recommended lift car sizes for the new Dunedin hospital design: #NZASH2024

NZASH was a full and fun day yesterday with amazing speakers and ideas shared Sarah Jackson- Health NZ Chief of Patient Quality and Safety and Victoria Brazil- Simulation researcher and expert, got us underway with excellent and inspiring presentations. #NZASH 2024

Recent sims= Local Anaesthetic Systemic Toxicity in ICU & Advanced Deterriorating Patient (manikin pictured with the fantastic Simulation Facilitators/Educators Alice & Ange).

A multi-organisational cardiac arrest simulation was undertaken last week when a new health and wellbeing hub (Te Kaika) was remodelled and re-opened. It is always a great experience for our Sim Team to work alongside other organisations.

Jo (Sim Edu) spent the last half of this week in Wellington. So Many national treasures there: parliament, Te Whatu Ora & Te Aki Whai Ora HQ, and the NZ Sim Instructors Course, which Jo observed and had a go debriefing a debrief. This was a great experience for Jo.

Otago Simulation Interest Group (OSIG) was great fun this month, led by Phil Blyth. We simulated pinning a supracondylar #. Phil set up a task trainer using an iPad and a 3D printed humerous within a realistic looking (and feeling) 3D muscle/tissue around it. Emma won!

Otago Clinical Skills Lab (OCSL) Sim Team has welcomed it's new (and fantastic) Sim Educator, Alice Barach! . We still get to work closely with Ange as she is now the Otago Simulation Committee (OSC) and Otago Simulation Interest Group (OSIG) Chairperson. How fortunate!

Otago Simulation Interest Group are facilitating their inaugural simulation instructor course. The course will be run over two days with 13 participants. Set up completed yesterday afternoon. Exciting!

NICU team working with the Sim Team yesterday to facilitate clinical systems testing. The scenario was immediate fire evacuation. Two infants were evacuated simultaneously, swiftly and safely. Many insightful considerations debriefed.

Pasifika simulation last Friday in our Skills Lab. Working with high school Pasifika students running a cardiac arrest simulation. One year 13 student paired with one Healthcare Professional for roles.

RT @JoRSmithNZ:

The amazing PACU team undertook an in-situ cardiac arrest simulation today. Such interesting learning occurred as well as a demonstration of excellent care. The Hartwell Simulator was giving some realistic observations for a patient having ST elevation.

Beautiful moulage used for an exciting new simation undertaken last week. 'Management of a Chemo Extravasarion' in the Oncology Department, Dunedin Hospital. Great discussion and expert clinical teaching shared.
