Abstract

INTRODUCTION: A level 5 falls simulation was developed for undergraduate healthcare students. Interprofessional simulation improves team performance and communication skills.1 Falls are a major public health problem globally with older people and younger children being at high-risk.2 DESIGN & DELIVERY A one hour falls simulation scenario was designed including a facilitator and student guide by an interprofessional working group. Staff training was delivered to support facilitation and debriefing skills. An online JISC student evaluation survey was developed incorporating the SPICE-R tool3 for IPE and to gain qualitative feedback. A separate online evaluation form was created for facilitators. RESULTS The falls scenario was successfully implemented and evaluated across seven undergraduate programmes between September-November 2023. DISCUSSION This was a successful first run of this simulation for healthcare students. It introduced students to interprofessional team working in a simulated environment pre-registration. The session will be lengthened in response to evaluations. Facilitators felt the co-debrief was valuable in role modelling interprofessional working.
