Learning tools used to deliver NTC training
Learning tool | Targeted outcome |
Q&A-based topic teaching | To stimulate two-way learning and check understanding. |
Simplified explanations | Created in partnership with our staff, patient’s families and the public as examples of how to explain such issues to new parents. |
‘What would you do next?’ video content | Of first on scene simulations and skill demonstrations with multiple break points to encourage discussion. |
‘Spot the mistake’ quizzes | Including pictures, for example, of incorrectly placed NG tubes and incorrectly plotted bilirubin charts to develop staff’s critical thinking skills around ability to recognise and manage mistakes. |
Video link interactive questions | Requiring thumbs up/down or show how many fingers answers (eg, to transcutaneous bilirubinometer (TCB) or not to TCB, how many hours until the next observations) to create interaction and encourage participation. |
Voice recording prioritisation exercises | Using voice recordings of patient handovers which participants have to prioritise to learn about the importance of the story and effective Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) handovers. |
Case-based topic tests | Developed from recent clinical incidents to ensure lessons learnt are shared. |
Topic summary slides | Reiterating the key take-home messages. |
