EM Core Education

Dear Colleagues,
 
At Derriford we recognise that working in the Emergency Department for the first time can be daunting and unlike other hospital environments in to which you have previously been exposed. As a result we have a specific induction and educational programme aimed towards your needs. As adult learners we expect you to take your educational needs seriously and invest time in meeting those needs proactively.
Your educational needs will be met as follows: ​
  • attend ED induction day 1
  • ED education session on the 3rd Wednesday morning of each month
    • M3 meeting 08h15 - 09h00
    • ACCS teaching session 09h00-12h00
      • here topics relevant to the ACCS curriculum will be presented by the ED senior tier (see below)
      • you will be expected to prepare in advance for these sessions 
  • attend monthly ACCS regional training day
    • coordinate with rota coordinator (need to book study leave) - you should be released to attend most of these training days during your placement, unless on nights or leave.
    • more information at ACCS Regional Training and  https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/accs ​​

​Format of face-to-face sessions

  • you will be expected to do some preparation work ahead of the session
    • the link / information will be available via this website
  • you will be expected to be able to discuss a clinical case that you have been involved with relevant to the topic of the month
    • this could be used as a WPBA (eg. CBD)
    • you should also present 1-2 learning points from this case
  • the lead clinician (usually a MG and consultant) will facilitate further learning during the session
    • this may take the form of interactive discussions, simulation etc.
