Aims

Participants will have the opportunity to tackle themed scenarios based on an acutely unwell patient. Common presentations such as tachyarrhythmia, bradyarrhythmia, acute LVF and pulmonary embolism will be covered.

Objectives

This course is most suitable for Core Medical Trainees at any level, or ST3 trainees in any speciality. It would also be suitable for candidates who have completed Foundation Training and are taking time out of program. It is not suitable for current Foundation Trainees.

Learning outcomes

ACST focuses on clinical simulated patient emergency scenarios, with case summaries and extensive feedback following each scenario. You will be encouraged to participate and share knowledge and experience throughout the lectures and course generally.

Simulated patient scenarios take place in a realistic clinical setting, with the participant having the opportunity to:

  • Assess an unwell patient: with real time access to clinical notes, clinical observations, telemetry, blood results and 12 lead ECGs
  • Manage the unwell patient with treatments, including crash trolley access, that will alter the clinical course in real time
  • Interaction with the MDT including nurses, anaesthetist and Cardiology seniors
  • Opportunity for debrief and feedback following each scenario

Every participant will take part in at least one simulated patient scenario appropriate for their level of experience, and a mini-CEX assessment will be given as part of the feedback. A certificate of completion will also be provided for all candidates.
