Practicing ACLS skills through simulation provides healthcare staff with the opportunity to rehearse common clinical scenarios in a safe environment. This regular practice strengthens competence, builds confidence, and enhances team performance, improving pt safety and outcomes.

Translational simulation was used to test the new Stroke ALERT call process for in-patient strokes @ SUH ensuring the system works effectively in practice and highlighting opportunities to optimise team response and patient outcomes @MauraHeffernan2 @GeorginaKilcoy3

Simulation-based IPE training in anaesthetic emergencies, combined with focused clinical skills development, is enhancing team performance and strengthening patient @GeorginaKilcoy3 @NDTP_HSE

Another successful ALERT course took place at SUH, equipping nursing staff with the skills and confidence to recognise and respond to the acutely deteriorating patient. The training continues to strengthen clinical knowledge, teamwork, and early intervention. 👏🏻@MauraHeffernan2

Simulation training is integrated into the induction of new Emergency Department nurses at Sligo University Hospital. @bronataaffe ED induction facilitator/ coordinator. Practicing RSI This approach supports patient safety&aligns with best practice in HF and QI @GeorginaKilcoy3

Simulation training for cardiac arrest in theatre is vital for ensuring rapid, coordinated responses during rare but life-threatening situations. It allows multidisciplinary teams to practise technical skills and communication in a realistic environment, improving patient safety.

RT @GilmartinStevo: @arunsayal1 and his team are bringing their CASTED Emergency course to Ireland for the first time!!There are only limit….

Today’ssimulation scenario focused on the acute presentation of pulmonary oedema.Prompt recognition and effective team-based management made a significant difference in the patient’s outcome.Well done to everyone involved excellent work under pressure! @NDTP_HSE @GeorginaKilcoy3

STEMI SIM, exposure to HALO events builds technical and non-technical skills. @GeorginaKilcoy3 @MauraHeffernan2 @NDTP_HSE @NurMidONMSD @AmyHussey9

Life threatening asthma leading to respiratory arrest. Prompt recognition and needle decompression, clear instructions and communication. Well done 👏🏻 @MauraHeffernan2 @GeorginaKilcoy3 @CatherineGlanc3 @bernie_biesty

SUH supports a culture of safety and preparedness. A proactive approach ensures new NCHDs are better equipped to deliver safe, coordinated, and person-centred care to maternity patients from day one. #teamSUH @McEvoyRebecca @julianahenry76 @GeorginaKilcoy3

This week we rehearsed the management of a complicated STEMI. Well done #teamSUH clear communication using ISBAR, escalation and initiation of transfer to PCI centre @NurMidONMSD @NDTP_HSE @GeorginaKilcoy3 @MauraHeffernan2

Our final ICU SIM before our current NCHDs move on to their next rotation 😢 The team worked cohesively through a ‘difficult intubation’ scenario, demonstrating excellent communication,preparation and situational awareness. @NurMidONMSD @NDTP_HSE @MauraHeffernan2 @GeorginaKilcoy3

and the fabulous @JeeMarcus.

Our final EM sim for this year NCHD rotation, this time making the EM consultants & CNM3 the learners 🤣 well done and thank you everyone for such a fantastic year of EM sim training you’ve been brilliant 🤩 @NDTP_HSE @NurMidONMSD @GeorginaKilcoy3 @MauraHeffernan2 @bronataaffe

Welcome to our new medical interns to SUH. clinical skills training this afternoon as part of the standardised induction programme. @NDTP_HSE @GeorginaKilcoy3 @MauraHeffernan2
