Programme 2021

Day – 01: Monday 6 December 2021
DEMEC 2021 will cover 6 themes following the AoME Professional Standards – Core Values and Five Domains The Academy of Medical Educators’ Professional Standards Framework makes explicit the values, skills, knowledge and practical capabilities required of those engaged in medical education. The Standards have been developed in wide consultation with professional medical educators. The framework is outcome-based and generic in nature; it is designed to be inclusive and relevant to all clinical and non-clinical medical educators irrespective of role. The Professional Standards support the maintenance of good medical practice and are used to support professional development, annual appraisal and revalidation. They are relevant to all educational roles and responsibilities. Membership and Fellowship of AoME exceed the minimum GMC requirements for clinical trainers.

Transitions matter: The theory, research and practice of transitions in medical education

Transitions matter. They provide opportunities for intense learning but are also challenging. Drawing on the literature and her team-based research on medical education transitions, Charlotte will talk about: (i) What transitions are; (ii) How transitions can be researched; and (iii) How medical students and trainees can be helped to navigate transitions.

Building high performance healthcare teams – culture, relationships and translational simulation

Improving teamwork and shaping culture in healthcare is easy to say, but hard to do.
Team training, catchy communication acronyms, and off-site team building might not realise the promise of high performing teams in the complex environment of 21^st century healthcare.
Maybe simulation offers more than we think – if used with agility – to explore work environments and the people in them, to test better systems or practices, and to embed ‘best practice’ once we know what that is.
And maybe simulation can actually shape culture, and help high performing healthcare teams get better, together.

B10: Consensus statement on the content of clinical reasoning curricula in medical education – what does it mean in practice?

Session speaker(s):
Dr Anna Hammond (chair/compere)
Dr Nicola Cooper
Prof Mini Singh
Dr Jo Matthan
Prof Maggie Bartlett
Dr Mark Lilicrap

Session objectives:

Appreciate the scale and nature of diagnostic error, and international calls to improve ‘diagnosis education’.
Know the ‘five domains of clinical reasoning education’ that undergraduate and postgraduate teaching should cover.
Know six evidence-based teaching strategies for teaching clinical reasoning, and how these can be applied in practice.

Session summary:
Effective clinical reasoning is required for safe patient care. Students and postgraduate trainees largely learn the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for effective clinical reasoning implicitly, through experience and apprenticeship. There is a growing consensus that schools should teach clinical reasoning in a way that is explicitly integrated into courses throughout each year, adopting a systematic approach consistent with current evidence. However, the clinical reasoning literature is ‘fragmented’ and can be difficult for medical educators to access. The purpose of this symposium is to provide evidence-based practical recommendations for curriculum leads and educators.

An update on key themes around resilience and leadership so we can jointly consider what can support us, our trainees and our workforce.

Session summary:
This session will include an outline of the neurophysiology of communication, links with leadership and resilience and how we can apply that to real and virtual teams. There are a range of techniques that can be used to help, especially when you understand the neurophysiology of virtual communication. In particular I want to share the work of Stephen Porges and his research on polyvagal theory.

This gives us an understanding as to what makes us feel safe in a particular environment, and how we can use the technology to support that as much as possible. I’ll also summarise Daniel Goleman’s work on leadership and focus.

The workshop will update on key themes around resilience and leadership so we can jointly consider what can support us, our trainees and our workforce.

Session summary:
Prior to Covid-19 Primary Care and medical school curricula focused on face-to-face consultations, with an absence of teaching guidance for students and educators in relation to remote-consultations. We compare the use of remote-consultations as a teaching tool on the Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship and traditional programme, and develop best practice guidance.

The importance of generalist skills for multimorbidity patient care

The proportion of patients with two or more medical conditions continues to increase. The majority of over 75s now have 3 or more conditions and almost one in five 40-69 year olds have at least 2 conditions. This trend remains a challenge to the entire medical profession. Whilst greater specialisation, particularly in secondary care, has improved clinical outcomes for individual conditions, generalist skills are becoming increasingly important when faced with patients with multiple long-term conditions. Shifting back to maintaining and celebrating generalism in the medical workforce is critical to respond to the changing pattern to health and disease in the population.
