Higher Education Monthly
The first named Middle Grade will be the lead for the education component of the afternoon, responsible for (but not necessarily expected to deliver) the academic content (3 hours). You can be creative – invite external speakers, co-opt local experts, design Sim scenarios ; your session, you are accountable.
Try to stay away from stuff everyone knows! No one wants to spend time on 1st line treatments of an exacerbation of COPD, for example. Try and come at things from a real ED basis. What will change our practice? What are the most important things for us to spot/request/consider? What is the rare thing we shouldn’t miss? What is the gold standard we are trying to reach? Similarly we’d like you to introduce an ‘investigation or treatment of the month’ slot – no more than half an hour’s focus on something we do all the time but with a close look at the evidence for and value of it. What is the specificity of a plain abdominal film in abdo pain? What is the number needed to treat for aspirin in ACS? What is the sensitivity of a CT head in SAH? So much of what we do is dictated by dogma, we’re trying to encourage and facilitate you to have enquiring minds to ask why? and what for?!
The lead MG is also expected to provide a short summary of the relevant learning points, to be distributed to those who were not able to attend. This can also take the form of a blog entry, which will be published on our Derrifoam blog.
You will need to arrange a venue. Options are the Stewart Room (ask one of the secretaries to check availability), or one of the medical school seminar rooms on level 5 TLB (contact person Jocelyn Clarke).
The second named MG will be responsible for the critical appraisal aspect of the afternoon. You will be expected to provide an evidence update to complement the theme of the session. This could be in a number of formats – a review of FOAM publications, summary of recent papers or critical appraisal of a key paper. Again, you have the freedom to deliver this as you see fit, but will be accountable for it. This should occupy about 30 minutes of the afternoon.
The named consultant for each Edu session will sit in on all of the afternoon, but will be looking to the lead middle grade to chair the afternoon session. You should expect the named consultant to be willing to provide feedback on your organisation of the session and for those completing FRCEM management portfolios this could be used for that secondary output.
From time–to–time I would foresee modifications to the program if we were in need of a specific update (Child Protection springs to mind) or if an opportunity arises that I think we should grasp. Unless notified though, we will expect you to come up with a decent afternoon of peer education.
