Thankfully we’re gradually seeing the
students return in numbers. It’s great to have them back. In preparation
we’re re-claiming most of the ground floor that till now was reserved for
Covid patients. We can reverse this decision should the need arise.
Another positive development this early
in the year is the increasing external recognition of CIME and consolidation
as a centre of excellence in clinical simulation: very recently two of our
champions and two of our simulation specialists received certification from
SSH; one has also received special recognition as a ‘Simulation Ambassador’,
and coincidentally was the lead author of a novel article from the
perspective of a Simulation Technical Operator. Reference at the end. To cap
it all, CIME’s Global Director has been invited to become a member of the
newly formed SIMGHOSTS Global Council. This will help us push the agenda from
Pakistan and East Africa, further develop our network and opportunities for
grants and collaborative working.
In CIME Nairobi, we’re now recruiting
our technical and administrative staff so that when the keys of the door are
available, we can get to work preparing for faculty and students. One step at
a time and we’ll get there.

Reflecting on the Clinical Simulation Educators Programme -
Online
The
Clinical Simulation Educators Programme (CSEP) has proven to be vital in
developing the capacity of faculty to conduct simulation-based education
(SBE) at the Aga Khan University. Offered by the centre’s qualified
educators, with contributions from experienced faculty, this five-day
intensive in-person programme is tailored to provide just-in-time learning to
participants priming them with skills and knowledge to incorporate clinical simulation
in their teaching tool-box. With the advent of the pandemic and due to the
high demand for the CSEP internally and internationally, the course was
adapted to 8 weeks Online allowing participants to have both synchronous and
asynchronous sessions.

Student initiates simulation to improve neonatal care
Life-saving
interventions are sometimes required in the newborn infant such as chest
physiotherapy and suction aim to remove airway secretions, improve delivery
of ventilation, prevent or resolve respiratory complications and facilitate
early weaning.
Roshan
Ara, Post RN student and NICU nurse, observed that the practice of suctioning
and physiotherapy, unless performed correctly, can result in a longer NICU
stay, prolonged intubation time, and in the worst cases may result in the
infant’s dependency on the ventilator or atelectasis. She saw the need to
have customised simulation-based training to equip NICU staff with
evidence-based knowledge and practice in this field.

Webinar on inborn errors of metabolism (IEM)
Successful
early diagnosis of any inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) is crucial for the
positive clinical outcomes of the affected neonate. However, it is not
straightforward and poses a real challenge for neonatologists. CIME organised
a webinar on the diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) to equip
paediatricians and general practitioners with an understanding of the
indicators to successfully diagnose IEM in critically ill neonates. The
webinar was very well received and appreciated by the audience.
