Call for parallel session proposals : Entry # 82 Designing meaningful multiprofessional learning events for foundation learners
Session title:
Designing meaningful multiprofessional learning events for foundation learners
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
We are sharing our experience of developing multiprofessional learning for foundation trainees in Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Physician Associates. Our programme includes masterclasses, online content, and simulation training. We discuss the ‘highs and lows’ of our journey and guide participants on ways to develop and promote bespoke multiprofessional learning events.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
• Recognise key principles that contribute to effective interprofessional learning • Apply these principles by designing an inclusive learning event for foundation learners • Describe effective ways to engage multiprofessional learners and faculties with your event.

Have you presented this in the UK this year?
No
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We will be using polling (ideally mentimeter) to engage the audience, share experiences and establish a group agenda. The workshop has two small group exercises (design a learning event and write an advert) both will be debriefed to enhance the group learning element.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
We are the first region in the UK to bring foundation learners (doctors, pharmacists, physician associates and dentists) together to learn with and from each other. This is an ambitious project and an iterative process. Our experience can inform others who are at the start of this journey. Early exposure of learning with and from each other in the workplace, is essential for effective and safe care in increasingly complex healthcare systems.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Our trainee foundation learners will be involved in the delivery of our workshop. This course provides a great opportunity for evaluation of the benefits of multiprofessional simulation in foundation trainees.

I am a first year GP trainee. I believe health equity focused learning should be a major part of the medical curriculum. HEFT is vital to enable the next generation of clinicians to effectively care for those most vulnerable in our society. We live in an age of widening inequalities. Medical practice must evolve at the same rate, so as to prevent those who are most in need from being left behind. With this in mind, I feel we have a duty to spread the word, strengthen the initiative and begin to address these deep inequalities.

Despite my interest in population health and a decent public health experience in my home country, I was very unclear on what to do with this when I relocated to the UK, a developed nation. My decision to join the HEFT programme was the most significant decision I have taken so far in ST1. Not only as it provided incredible opportunities to learn about the UK’s public health challenges; it has further shaped my interest and my future aspirations as a GP. My perspectives have changed, and I no longer think linearly. I am now better informed about this subject.

Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Embark on an engaging journey as you delve into team and individual performance; uncover invaluable insights and learning gaps, create powerful and achievable solutions. Join the Critical Factors team, seasoned airline pilots and educators, as they bring their wealth of knowledge, trialed methodologies, and extensive experience garnered from healthcare collaborations.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Recognize the significance of human factors in professional practice and their relevance in healthcare education. 2. Utilise an analytical tool to assess team and individual behaviours, identifying factors that impact performance, well-being and patient outcomes. 3. Investigate and propose educational approaches that can effectively address the identified factors in the complex multidisciplinary healthcare workplace.

Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
The workshop will start with a brief presentation to explain the methodology; attendees then split into groups to focus on a specific area. They will then watch a short case study video of healthcare practice. Each group will apply the methodology to identify both positive behaviours to encourage and sub-optimal behaviours for development. They will then propose both the education that could be designed/used for that purpose ,and how it could be implemented. Facilitators will be on hand to assist. Groups will share their findings to the room, which Critical Factors will facilitate, and share their experiences on implementing such education successfully. This will be repeated to enable attendees to undertake the exercise for a number of different videos, at the same time apply different elements within the methodology.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Despite awareness of its benefits in other industries for many years, the integration of behavioural human factors into healthcare has not been as widespread as in other safety critical practice. Many active practitioners have had little such education, typically occasional ad-hoc short sessions, and not specific to the work they undertake. Behavioural human factors not only play an essential patient safety role through threat & error management, but successfully embedded in professional practice, foster an open and inclusive culture for all the clinical team players, the patient and extending beyond to the wider community. This session is designed to enable educators to understand the role they can play in designing and planning education to support safer, more effective and enjoyable practice for the benefit of all stakeholders. Attendees will gain a far greater appreciation of the difference to team performance and error management that some simple but powerful changes to practice can make. This is an enhanced session of an introductory workshop ran at FEDS Conference 2022 which was very well received (contact Prof J Corne for feedback?).
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Following its national level work HEE in specification of the human factors within the Enhance programme, Critical Factors has been working with HEE E Midlands regional level educators on delivery of human factors education to multidiscplinary teams and related educator development. Critical Factors has invited and actively encouraged those educators to participate in the delivery of this parallel session.

Session title:
Supporting, recognising and valuing educators: a Medical Education Leaders UK & General Medical Council Session
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Trainers report more negative workplace experiences, feel less supported by senior medical staff and report longer, more intense working hours. Unsurprisingly, trainers are more likely than non-trainers to be struggling. Expected increases in trainee numbers add additional challenge. This session will explore strategies to support educators and shape national work.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
– Outline the challenges and context for educators nationally and explore the factors behind these – Share your insights and experiences to shape national work on valuing, recognising, and supporting educators – Understand best practice examples and innovations on how educators could be better supported

This proposed session on valuing medical educators starts with an introduction to the facilitators, who represent Medical Education Leaders UK and the General Medical Council (GMC). The introduction acts as a scene setting exercise for the interactive small table discussions that follow. The introduction describes: • The regulatory perspective including challenges facing educators as described in the GMC report: State of Medical Education & Practice and Barometer survey. We will describe the GMC’s work in this area, which includes the aim of growing a well-supported, diverse, and multi-professional workforce. Standards and quality assurance processes will be covered. • The strategic areas of Medical Education Leaders UK on the human needs of educators; being together in the culture and organisation of education; and the lifelong learning and wellbeing implications of being an educator. • The role of employers in supporting educators, including best practice examples such as protecting educator time. • Training organisation contexts, including Health Education England’s Educator Workforce Strategy describing healthcare demand and workforce shortages with the importance of ensuring capacity and quality of educators. The introduction will also describe the different named roles of educator, trainer and supervisor in order to frame the table discussions. Following the introduction, most of the session will be interactive, table-based discussions to facilitate an inclusive session for attendees where all voices can be heard. Table discussions are an opportunity for attendees to shape national work, with the following questions posed: 1. What are the fundamental tools required for the role of an educator? 2. What professional development opportunities enable educators to thrive in their roles? 3. What recognition and rewards would best support educators? The table discussions will also give Medical Education Leaders UK and the General Medical Council the opportunity to test ideas with attendees for their feedback. The session chair will bring everyone together at the end to summarise each table’s discussion, as well as respond to any final questions. We will include a ballot-box at the end of the session for attendees to submit their ‘blue sky thinking’ wishes for educators.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The benefit of this session is to shape national work on supporting medical educators by drawing on the experience of attendees, as they bring expertise and credibility. Attendees will benefit from the opportunity to shape national work, and have their voices and ideas heard. This in turn will benefit the medical and healthcare community because educators will be better supported resulting in a better trained workforce for the future.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The GMC continuously looks at how research can inform its work as a regulator. Although this session is not tailored directly towards early career researchers, we hope that the data and insights that we collect can inform professionals in those roles.

During the workshop, initially there will be an overview presentation during which recent research about experiences of learners of misogyny and sexism across the medical education continuum with be explored. Following this, tables of participants will be asked to consider the journey of two different learners – one undergraduate and one postgraduate through an incident of a sexist micro-aggression. They will consider the situation where the micro-aggression occurs, the approach the learner takes to report it, how the report is addressed with the perpetrator, and how the learner is supported. Finally, participants will share back their thoughts and reflections on these cases, before case study examples of good practice in this topic, applied to the cases. This will allow participants to have a wide range of ideas to reflect on and take away to their own practice.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Raise awareness of topical issue, and practical solutions to help address this. Help to develop a toolkit which will be published in early 2024 and freely available to support all medical educators in the UK.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Workshop involves presentation of research undertaken by a UK medical student who will be one of the presenters.

What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Healthcare is in crisis. 1 in 10 jobs are vacant in the health and social care sector, one-third of doctors are considering reducing their hours and two-thirds are experiencing burnout amongst industrial action over pay and conditions. Pragmatic non-monetary systems to enable positive workplace experiences which use appreciative inquiry and develop functioning abundance culture are required now. This session is vital for improving current working conditions and providing a compassionate support to healthcare professionals, especially those that rotate between different NHS Trusts. Attendees will see how we set this platform up, how it is run and why it is useful, including quantative analysis of 300 nominations across multiple categories and qualitative thematic analysis using critical incident theory to explore trainee’s perceptions of formal recognition and the impact of this on their workplace morale and engagement.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The basis of this platform is targeted at Postgraduate Doctors and Dentists in training. Further qualitative and quantitative research could be undertaken and encouraged from early career researchers.

Session title:
VR and AI for enhancing doctor-patient communication skills – A case study by the RSM
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Showcasing how VR and AI can create realistic, engaging scenarios for training healthcare practitioners in effective communication skills with patients, we will share our experience of designing, developing and deploying immersive content. Impact focussed, the session will includes measuring impact through user feedback and independent research by RSM Scholars.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
Each learning objective address knowledge, behaviour and skills: ● Identify the key features and benefits of VR+AI for communication skills training ● Discuss the practical and pedagogical challenges of implementing immersive technologies in healthcare education ● Evaluate the evidence and feedback from our case study on VR+AI for doctor-patient interactions

We will include audience participation through polling and Q&A. We can also bring a hands on demo which be available to participants before/after the session if appropriate.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
This is an innovative use of a new technology which offers ‘safe space’ practice, delivered through immersive training for a growing issue for health care practitioners – how to deal with difficult and ‘angry’ conversations. The partnership between the Royal Society of Medicine and Bodyswaps leverages world leading expertise (led by Professor Dame Lesley Fallowfield as subject matter expert, and Chair of Research) and cutting edge edtech design from Bodyswaps. The session will explore this and showcase the way this work has been effective in making impact through accessible, affordable, flexible training with reach – at a time when the health profession is fraught with resource issues which make training hard to deliver to such time poor individuals. Benefits to DEMEC attendees and the medical/healthcare community include gaining insight into a new and different way of training by understanding the design and pedagogy, the way it has been delivered and how impact has been assessed. This is a growing, emerging way of delivering training particularly suited to professional skills and we believe sharing the approach will allow others to understand how they might use such methods to design their own training. The Royal Society of Medicine is keen to become more closely involved in the DEMEC community and both attendance at the conference and, in particular, delivering this session is a first step in what we hope will be a much deeper involvement.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The Royal Society of Medicine scholars are early career researchers and they will be involved in the development of the session. The research participants the Scholars are working with are also drawn largely from trainees and early career researchers.

Session title:
Rhythm Check: A podcast created to support trainee doctor wellbeing
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
With mounting pressure within the NHS to recruit, protect and retain staff there has never been a more important time to prioritise wellbeing. Rhythm Check is a podcast created by trainee doctors, for trainee doctors, tackling themes including healthy relationships and alcohol use through near-peer shared experience and advice.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. The importance of prioritising staff wellbeing, now more than ever 2. Recognise a podcast as an effective resource that can be far reaching and stand the test of time 3. Evaluation of podcast using download and listener metrics, alongside focus group and survey data
Session theme:
Educational management and leadership
Does your session specifically target a particular group?
Yes

Undergraduates Postgraduates Managers Policy Makers Other (please specify)
Other Audience Group
Delegates who are interested in trainee wellbeing at any stage of training and who would like to learn how to develop relevant trainee led podcasts.

Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
1. Use of podcast intro theme music and snippets from episodes 2. Breakout groups to discuss what topics within wellbeing would be most relevant in their region, then share what we chose and why. 3. Breakout groups to brainstorm other resources that could be/are delivered locally to support trainee/staff wellbeing. 4. Speaker from each group to share discussion with all attendees.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
There are numerous podcasts in the wellbeing space offering advice from those with high expertise, however nothing targets the trainee doctor cohort. Rhythm Check is unique, acknowledging and addressing how it can be difficult to follow the advice we give our patients, following the idiom ‘Practice what we preach’. This session will highlight a novel way of tackling a crucially important topic. Using data obtained prior to podcast release we have aligned the content with what trainees themselves have said they would benefit from. While we have focused on doctors in training, there are also staff recruitment and retention crises across all healthcare sectors with high risk of burnout widely acknowledged. Using a podcast as an accessible resource could be beneficial to other educators and leaders.

It’s not all about achieving competencies: nurturing the trainee – trainer relationship
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Trainees are our colleagues. Too often training pathways infantilise them. Why wait until CCT to engage them? Our Y&H experience is trainee-colleagues have a genuine appetite to collaborate in positive change at all stages of their training journey and are an essential resource in identifying and creating system improvements.
Learning Objectives

What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
We aspire to an inclusive, collaborative and engaging medical education environment and we believe improved medical educational relationships leads to improved patient care. There are many barriers to these aspirations at present. We wish to explore actionable ways we can enhance training relationships and would be delighted to share these perspectives with DEMEC and hope to continue the discussion. By offering a workshop to consider potential actions we hope participants will be able to take away immediate pointers for change.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
This workshop is planned in collaboration with trainees early in their career. We would welcome the voices and participation of any other early career researchers.
