Our Human Patient Simulator (HPS) was recently used successfully by the service line of kidney and bladder, who developed an interactive workshop of interventional nephrology focused on ‘fistula’ management.
Renal Nurses, Residents and Medical Officers prepared for simulated practice through theoretical sessions on interventional nephrology procedures and implication for the care of patients. Through simulation the roles of scrub nurse, circulatory nurse were differentiated and the concept of maintaining a sterile filed emphasised. 22 participated in this session benefitted from a ‘juggar’ fistula developed in-house to give the feel of ‘thrill’ in a fistula. At the end of the experience a self-efficacy questionnaire was filed by the participants identifying enhancement in their learning.
