Acute Care Training with Simulation (ACTS)
ACTS is a four hour intensive program with a focus on the latest teaching in advanced life support, local clinical guidelines and management of commonly faced emergencies. The emphasis is how to apply the skills in real life crisis situations, whilst examining the common skills essential for effective teamwork.

Program Lead: Andrew Coggins (ED Staff Specialist)

The Advanced Life Support course is a two day multidisciplinary program. The program focusses on developing both the technical and non-technical skills required to manage the acutely unwell deteriorating patient. The program consists of didactic, skill stations and high fidelity simulation sessions. This is a WSLHD program which complies with ALS guidelines but is not a nationally recognised program though it is recognised by some medical colleges.

Advanced Life Support on the Run
Designed to complement the Westmead ALS Team Training course, ALS on the Run is an insitu run program which involves simulated ALS calls run in a range of varying clinical and non-clinical locations around the hospital. These simulations aim to improve multidisciplinary teamwork, hospital processes and patient outcomes.

DETECT is a four hour multidisciplinary program targeted for clinicians all inpatient areas of the hospital as part of mandatory training. The course is completed once with a refresher program to be developed. The course provides the opportunity to develop knowledge and practice skills related to the identification and management of the deteriorating patient. A major theme is working within a team and communication.

My Health Learning - DETECT Workshop CSK911 (Nursing & Medical)
DETECT Allied Health workshop (ADULT - Face-to-face education) (91007943)
DETECT workshop (ADULT - Face-to-face education) - Nursing and Medical - half day (91006258)

This program builds on the 4 hour face to face DETECT program. It aims to promote a consistent delivery method for education focusing on DETECT (Detecting Deterioration, Evaluation, Treatment, Escalation and Communicating in teams) principles. All sessions aim to consolidate and expand current CN/ME, CN/MS skills and knowledge as well as encourage the use of simulation within ward based education plans.

Simulation Instructor Development Program – Fundamentals of Debriefing
This one day program follows on from the Simulation Instructor Development Course. Fundamentals of Debriefing aims to build upon the participants skills in the delivery of simulation based education by introducing the concept of Debriefing. Debriefing is widely accepted as a vital component of simulation based learning and an essential skill for any educator utilising this modality to provide a safe and effective learning environment.

My Health Learning Course code – CSK14398

This one day program has been a designed as an introduction to the basic skills required to effectively utilise Simulated Learning Environments. This program aims to provide the participant with the basic skills required to safely utilise or participate in the delivery of Simulation Based Training. These skills include an understanding of educational theory, scenario design, simulation fidelity, debriefing skills and learner objectives. This program is delivered as part of a strategy to increase simulated learning capacity across the LHD.

SOTR is a one hour program delivered insitu within available in-service timeframes. Sim on the Run (SOTR) provides simulation based educational sessions for all members of staff across all disciplines, in their day-to-day working environment. Scenarios are customised for each ward and may include, management of a deteriorating patient focusing on DETECT principals, communication, teamwork as well as ALS/BLS roles and techniques and in response to identified deficits and adverse patient outcomes.

Simulation Training for After Hours Residents (STAR)
STAR is a 10 week refresher program with a focus on the latest teaching in advanced life support, local clinical guidelines and management of commonly faced emergencies. The emphasis is how to apply the skills in real life crisis situations, whilst examining the common skills essential for effective teamwork.

The Trauma Team Training (TTT) course is a one-day multidisciplinary simulation based course that addressed teamwork skills and clinical practice relevant to trauma team response. This is a course developed by the NSW Institute of Trauma Injury Management modified for delivery across WSLHD. The course focuses on the principals of human factors and team communication in the context of evidence based trauma management. Trauma in this context being seriously injured patients and not psychological injury.
