Facilitating interprofessional simulation based education – the experience of the Midwifery Education Simulation Working Group

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Introduction
There is a need to create a culture of learning and support in maternity care services to enhance interprofessional working relationships to optimise maternity care for women and families (Kirkup, 2022; Ockenden, 2022). Interprofessional Simulation Based Education (ISBE) can support this requirement however the ability to develop IBSE is constrained by the lack of facilitators who are skilled in the design and implementation of high quality theoretically designed simulation (Forstronen et al ,2020). Practitioners require support and experiential learning to become facilitators. The QUB Midwifery Education Simulation Working Group (MESWG) was established in QUB in 2019 and oversees the implementation of the simulation strategy for midwifery education within the curricula. The clinical working group members have been given support to develop transferrable knowledge, skills and practice in facilitating Simulation Based Education. This has the potential to impact on ISBE in maternity care settings in NI.
Objectives
To present the experiences of members of the QUB MESWG and the impact on ISBE in maternity services in HSC Trusts in NI.
