MEERKATS
Medical Emergencies: Evaluation, Response and Keeping Attention on Team Communication and Patient Safety
Please click on any of the above three courses for more specific information.
MEERKATS is a set of educational programmes aimed at nursing shift leaders, junior and senior medical staff and HCA’s. It combines the essential elements of patient safety with good practice in communication and recognition and management of the acutely unwell patient.
All participants in simulation-based team training courses like above learn together, reflect together and discuss together in teams similar to the ones that deliver health care on the wards. Simulation courses include senior and junior doctors, nursing shift leaders, medical students and health care assistants working as part of the multi-dynamic team. Learners participate in the simulation exercises in their normal clinical role and work in realistic clinical teams communicating across a ward and two side rooms.
Simulation scenarios and content emphasis are based on audits of calls to the hospital at night teams with specific learning objectives aligned to the Trust’s priorities as follows:
- Recognising the deteriorating adult, treatment and escalation.
- Involving participants from various backgrounds (medical, surgical, A&E,) and observing the interactions within the multidisciplinary team with a focus on TEAM SAFETY & RESILIENCE
