Developing an integrated national simulation-based educational programme for Scottish junior doctors through structured, multistep action research cycles.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Simulation is widely employed to teach a range of skills, across healthcare professions and is most effective when embedded within a standarised curriculum. Although recommended by many governing bodies, establishing a national programme of simulation presents many challenges. Successful implementation requires a clear understanding of the priorities and needs of those it seeks to serve yet there are limited examples of how best to do this. This study aimed to develop an integrated national simulation-based educational programme for junior doctors in Scotland through a structed, multistep prioritisation process.

Design

A series of action research cycles were undertaken to develop and evaluate a national simulation programme. This paper describes cycle 1, which emp
