The participants will take part in an interactive program focus on the acquisition of basic knowledge and the abilities needed for solving crucial aspects of research projects.
Specifically at the end of the program the participants will the able to:
  • Design research projects.
  • Establish objectives and plan for hypothesis contrast.
  • Prepare a working plan of the crucial project elements.
  • Select variables of interest and prepare a database.
  • Select adequate statistical analysis.
  • Gain abilities in results evaluations and bias, or study limitations.
  • Prepare a manuscript to be sent for publication.
To facilitated objectives acquisition a hands-on program has been planned. Participants will follow from the initial research question, to the publication of the results all the steps needed to produce quality research. Real research question and real data will be the used on the sessions. The obtained results hopefully will be part of a manuscript.

No previous knowledge is needed to follow the program; to come with a personal computer is recommended but not mandatory.

We encourage all emergency medicine professionals (doctors, nurses) with basic o no previous experience on research, to participate on the program that not only facilitates the development of a research program on the institution, but fundamentally creates the needed environment for quality improvement trough the permanent use of scientific methodology.

Course description

Simulation is a technique to replace or amplify real-patient experiences with guided experiences, artificially contrived, that evokes or replicates substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner. As an educational strategy, simulation provides the opportunity for learning that is both immersive and experiential. Thus, to improve education and ultimately enhance patient safety, healthcare professionals are using simulation in many forms including simulated and virtual patients, static and interactive manikin simulators, task trainers, screen-based (computer) simulations and ‘serious’ gaming. Moreover, simulation has the potential to recreate scenarios that are rarely experienced and test professionals in challenging situations, and to carefully replay or examine their actions. It is a powerful learning tool to help the modern healthcare professional achieve higher levels of competence and safer care.

 
These 2 days courses managed by world class experts on simulation will give the opportunity to trainees to get knowledge and how to teach simulation in emergency medicine using high fidelity manikins in a simulation center.

Learning objectives

The global objective of this course is to teach participants how to use Simulation in Emergency Medicine education. At the end of this course, participants will be able: to appreciate the impact of Simulation on the daily practice of Emergency Medicine, to create and run a scenario, to use a simulator (SimMan), to brief and debrief trainees.

  • To learn the basis on medical education, medical error and human factor.
  • To get knowledge on Simulation in Emergency Medicine: definition, tools, scenarios, briefing, debriefing.
  • To learn the concept of Crisis Management (CRM) and team work and multi-disciplinary approach in Simulation.
  • To practice Simulation by producing scenarios and using SimMan in small trainee groups.

Keynote Redmond OBE

Anthony (Tony) Redmond qualified in Medicine from the University of Manchester in 1975 where he also completed his postgraduate training. After qualifying in internal medicine and completing an MD research thesis he trained in Emergency Medicine. He was appointed Lecturer in Emergency Medicine at the University of Manchester and subsequently Consultant in Emergency Medicine at the University Hospital of South Manchester. In 1983 he was one of four founding members of the Emergency Medicine Research Society in the UK, which was later absorbed into the new Faculty of Accident and Emergency Medicine. In 1995 he was appointed Foundation Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Keele and Emeritus Professor in 1999. He was founding Editor of Archives of Emergency Medicine, which evolved ultimately into the Emergency Medicine Journal in 2000.


His early research interests were in prehospital care and resuscitation. He founded the South Manchester Accident Rescue Team (SMART) in 1987, a BASICS pre hospital medical team, funded by public donation. It continues to provide medical support to the emergency services in South Manchester. In Stockport he established one of the first paramedic training programmes in the UK, expanding it into Greater Manchester to become at one time the largest such programme in the UK.
He is a founder member of the Resuscitation Council (UK) and part of the original working parties that produced the early national resuscitation guidelines and recommendations for Resuscitation Training officers etc.
His interest in disaster management began with the earthquake in Armenia and he has since responded to a range of humanitarian crises including earthquakes, active volcano, refugee camps, plane crashes, conflict and war, and in many countries, including the UK, Kurdistan, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Cape Verde, Kosovo, Kenya, Iran, Sierra Leone, Pakistan, Uganda, China and Haiti.


In 1994 he established UK-Med www.uk-med.org an NGO that provides international emergency humanitarian medical assistance and which now hosts the UK International Emergency Trauma Register. UKIETR is a national resource funded by the UK government that draws together clinicians to form a national surgical/emergency response to large scale sudden onset natural disasters. It also coordinates and runs national training courses for this work. He is Chair of the Foreign Medical Teams Working Group at WHO Geneva.


He is currently Professor of International Emergency Medicine at the University of Manchester and Lead for Global Health at the Manchester Academic Health Sciences Centre. He co-founded the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute at the University of Manchester (www.hcri.ac.uk). This is a joint venture between the Faculties of Medicine and Humanities and researches into the background to and consequence of humanitarian crises. The HCRI runs Masters programmes in humanitarianism and conflict studies, international disaster management and a bachelors programme in global health.


At the Medical School he leads on Global Health education and has established a module in Emergency Humanitarian Assistance as part of a Masters in Public Health and Masters in Humanitarianism and Conflict Studies.
He has published widely in the field of emergency and disaster medicine and is the editor of the ABC of Conflict and Disaster Medicine (BMJ Books).


He was appointed to the Soviet Order for Personal Courage in 1989 for his work in the Armenian earthquake and Officer of the Order of the British Empire for humanitarian assistance to the former Yugoslavia in 1994.
In 2010 he received the Humanitarian Award from the International Federation for Emergency Medicine and in 2011 UK Med received the Excellence in Disaster Management Award from the World Association for Disaster Medicine.
