Debrief Room
The Room
The Debrief room enables viewing of live or pre-recorded simulation sessions that can be used from the Clinical room. The VDU display can also be used for oral & video presentations during the Pre briefing stage or utilised for video debriefing.
The debrief room displays a high definition on the simulation specific VDU image and shows three camera views plus a feed from the patient monitor/ plus images of patient data such as ECG / Blood results/scans - these images can also be reconfigured to display just one or two views.
Learners can also view a live stream of the scenario as it unfolds if acting as observers so none of the action is missed.
Following the scenario in the clinical room all participants return to the debrief room for discussion of what happened in scenario
The Debrief
Effective simulation requires the creation of a safe learning environment in order for the learners to gain the maximum benefit from the experience. Learners must feel able to take emotional risks and make mistakes in a scenario for learning to occur. An effective debrief creates a supportive climate where learners feel valued, respected and free to learn.
Whilst high quality scenarios are an important aspect of simulation it is the performance of the faculty that will determine the success or failure of the session. Well trained, confident and engaged faculty, working as part of the simulation team, will be able to provide the best possible learning experience.
An effective debrief is the most important component of a simulation experience. It allows the learners to reflect on their performance and identify key learning points. The role of the facilitator is to guide this reflection rather than impose their priorities on it. As such the priority for the facilitators is to determine the learners’ view of their performance and use a strategy of 'advocacy with enquiry' to explore this, as well as highlight any key issues the learners may have missed. In essence, debrief should incorporate relevant technical and non - technical aspects of performance as well as the human factors approach to patient safety.
