NET 2018 Conference: Using low fidelity simulation to develop practical skills that are required by a foundation year doctor in final year medical students

We developed a teaching session for final year medical students that would simulate the various jobs and responsibilities that a Foundation year 1 doctor on call may face on any given day in clinical practice. This is a simulation session which gives the students a chance to experience what they might be doing in a few months’ time and allows them to reflect on how they can develop the skills that would help deal with different situations (clinical and social) that can be faced by a Foundation year 1 doctor on call.
