<strong>VitalSim</strong> <strong>Familiarisation</strong> <strong>Programme</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> programme has been designed and developed to familiarise ADHB clinical staff<br />
with the following <strong>Laerdal</strong> simulators:<br />
Resusci Anne Simulator, MegaCode Kid, ALS Simulator and Nursing Baby.<br />
<strong>The</strong> programme provides an:<br />
features and functions of each of the <strong>Laerdal</strong> manikins listed above<br />
overview of cabling, electronic components, air supply, defibrillation etc.<br />
hands-on session with the remote controls and <strong>VitalSim</strong> units<br />
scenario planning<br />
scenario enactment<br />
technical debriefing only<br />
<strong>The</strong> presenters strive to ensure the programme is both enjoyable and interactive and,<br />
at the course conclusion, participants will feel competent and confident to deliver<br />
simulated scenarios using <strong>VitalSim</strong> manikins.<br />
<strong>The</strong> programme is presented by experienced and simulation-savvy staff members<br />
including adult and paediatric nurse educators, resuscitation coordinators, myself and<br />
<strong>Laerdal</strong>-trained clinical engineers employed at Auckland Hospital.<br />
Although the programme has been designed specifically for ADHB users there may<br />
be ‘seats’ available to clinical staff from other centres.<br />
Some points to note:<br />
Each course has a ceiling number of 15. Non-ADHB staff would be notified if there is<br />
a place available no sooner than 2 weeks before the course start.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be no charge (or course fees) for any clinical staff from DHB’s and other<br />
centres throughout NZ.<br />
<strong>The</strong> programme is not appropriate for under-graduate programmes.<br />
It is recommended that two participants from the same clinical work area attend. This<br />
helps ensure that each participant has support in designing and delivering simulated<br />
scenarios in their own ward or department.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ADHB programme is suited to a wide range of clinical staff including medical<br />
officers nurses and nurse educators, physiotherapists and anaesthetic technicians.
If it is unlikely that you will have technical/electronic back-up at your hospital, it is<br />
recommended that prospective attendees do discuss some of the likely follow-on<br />
issues with the CSC Coordinator when booking a place on either of these<br />
programmes.<br />
