The Ministry of Health and Community Protection launched the Mobile Simulation Unit of the Training and Development Center in Sharjah, as one of the initiatives supporting the first line of defense for medical training in health technical matters to deal with the challenges of Covid-19, with the aim of raising the efficiency of the medical staff in hospitals, clinics and field hospitals And updating their skills according to the updated protocols and according to best practices and health procedures, to support the commitment to continuous medical training and the medical care in which the patient is centered. The project is an added advantage and added value to the simulation training project, and plays a prominent role in enhancing the levels of patient safety Covid-19.
The experimental operation of this innovative initiative began last month, and the Training and Development Center received positive feedback, and an increasing number of requests to use the mobile unit in various facilities. The clinical simulation system contributes to preparing scenarios for natural situations that simulate reality, to create a safe and integrated simulation environment and unique training for doctors. For healthcare professionals, communication has improved between the team and preparing them to deal with various medical conditions, and how to respond to emergencies through the scenarios established, especially when dealing with critical cases of Covid 19 disease. With patient support.
Realistic simulation training
The initiative also aims to increase the realism of simulation training through the use of health facilities by the trainees and the equipment that they are used to dealing with, within the teams that work with them in the facility. This adds a high level of realism when training with simulation. The mobile unit also enables the institutional readiness to be raised for current and future health facilities. Transferring training to work sites helps ensure that equipment and supplies, as well as existing work systems, are able to deal effectively and safely with expected health conditions.
Innovative training solutions
His Excellency Awad Sagheer Al-Ketbi, Assistant Undersecretary for the Support Services Sector, emphasized that the launch of the multidisciplinary simulation unit for experimental medical training on health technical matters related to Covid-19, represents a qualitative shift and innovative training solutions to develop the personal capabilities of doctors and medical staff, within the framework of the Ministry’s keenness To train and develop the efficiency of its medical staff to deal with critical cases, according to advanced medical and health simulation methods, which rely on innovation in the institutional work environment to strengthen the health system, build smart training systems that keep pace with future changes, and build effective local and global partnerships.
Raising the efficiency of specialized medical cadres
Saqr Al-Humairi, Director of the Training and Development Center pointed out the importance of a training simulation model for caring for Covid-19 patients in critical cases, while harnessing medical simulation tools to improve skills and raising the efficiency of specialized medical cadres to deal with Covid-19 patients, through innovation In the accuracy of the simulation and the provision of clinical practices that match the reality in the smallest detail, after developing the content of the program to suit the needs and requirements of the field. This training simulation model is considered the most recent in the world to train the health care professional because it provides safe opportunities for training in dealing with various simple and critical cases, which contributes to developing the cognitive, behavioral and technical skills of medical care personnel.
