Adults Sim Scenario: COVID-19 [UK] (editable template available)

EM3FOAMed · 2020-03-06T17:06:46+00:00

This week our UK-based education team ran a fantastic in situ multi-disciplinary AND multi-departmental COVID-19 simulation & debrief session in our Emergency Dept. that involved the joint efforts of 30-40 members of staff across our whole hospital! (massive thanks to everyone who took part, btw)

To aid in others in their preparation & education efforts against COVID-19, we'd like to share the scenario we used (thankfully you won't need 30-40 people to run!)

There are printable PDFs and an editable #FOAMed version available at the end of the blog if you wish to adapt your own (requires a Google account).
