3 Forward Healthcare continues to advance at an extraordinary pace. New surgical procedures allowing patients to return home on the day of major surgery are now common place. Procedures only undertaken by junior doctors when I was a house officer are now undertaken by a large range of practitioners. Looking forward, more health care will be delivered in the community with the challenges that brings. Central to these advances is clinical skills and simulation training. Healthcare professionals need to be confident in their own skills. We need to ensure that these skills are undertaken safely and meet a high quality standard. New clinical skills equipment ensures practitioners become competent before undertaking procedures on patients. This will, not only include the practical procedure but other vital parts of care such as infection control, good preparation, good communication with patients and appropriate documentation. High risk industries have long identified, however, that individual tasks are not all that need to be considered for safe practice. Indeed seventy to eighty percent of errors occur due to non-technical skills and human factors, such as teamwork, communication and situational awareness. Healthcare is now learning these lessons from other industries and is using simulation to help address these issues. (Ref The Government Response to the Health Select Committee Report Patient Safety 2009) This document outlines a comprehensive strategy to ensure that quality assured clinical skills and simulation training is provided to all healthcare staff in the Yorkshire and Humber Region. It documents a step by step plan to meet the considerable challenges set out. Once achieved it will ensure training is available for the staff of our region to meet the challenges of 21st Century healthcare and thus bring huge benefits to the patients they care for. Dr Alasdair Strachan Chair, Yorkshire and the Humber Clinical Skills Executive 3 August 2010

4 Definitions Clinical skills has been defined for this region as any action performed by staff involved in direct care of patients which impacts on clinical outcomes in a measurable way and includes: Cognitive or 'thinking' skills such as clinical reasoning and decision making Non technical skills such as team working and communication Introduction Technical skills such as clinical examination and invasive procedures Simulation can be defined as: a person, device or set of conditions that tries to present problems authentically. The student or trainee is required to respond to the problems as he or she would, under natural circumstances. 4 Every day more than a million people are treated safely and successfully in the NHS. However, the advances in technology and knowledge in recent decades have created an immensely complex healthcare system. The volume and complexity of skills and knowledge of current technical equipment and procedures is evolving at such a pace that it is no longer safe to teach practitioners a skill and assume the knowledge will last for their lifetime. It therefore is reasonable to suggest that essential factors in supporting patient safety within the NHS are education & training, equipment & resources. Education & training: The availability and quality of training programmes for staff can directly affect their ability to perform their job or to respond to difficult or emergency circumstances. The effectiveness of training as a method of safety improvement is influenced by content, delivery style, understanding and assessment of skill acquisition, monitoring and updates. Equipment and resources: Equipment factors include whether the equipment is fit for purpose, whether staff know how to use the equipment, where it is stored and how often it is maintained. Resource factors include the capacity to deliver the care required, budget allocation, staffing allocation and skill mix. In 2008/09, 6,080 claims of clinical negligence and 3,743 claims of non-clinical negligence against NHS bodies were received by the NHS Litigation Authority (NHSLA). This was an increase on 2007/08 figures up from 5,470 claims of clinical negligence and 3,380 claims of non-clinical negligence. 769 million was paid in connection with clinical negligence claims during 2008/09, up from 633 million in 2007/08. (Ref. NHSLA 2009) We need to use modern education techniques if we are to fulfill our ambition to widen participation in learning and to enhance the learning environment for both those in training and those undertaking Continuing Professional Development. We will therefore review the appropriate use of e-learning and other modern education techniques, such as high-fidelity simulation suites, to develop a strategy for the appropriate use of e-learning, simulation, clinical skills facilities and other innovative approaches to healthcare education. (Ref: A High Quality Workforce NHS Next Stage Review, Department of Health, 2008) In 2008 Yorkshire and the Humber Strategic Health Authority (Y&H SHA) commissioned a review into clinical skills and simulation education in the region (Clinical Skills & Simulation in Yorkshire and the Humber, The current situation ). This extensive scoping exercise examined the available resources for all healthcare staff working in the NHS and all undergraduate healthcare and medical students in the Higher Education Institutions. In response to the findings of the review, NHS Yorkshire and the Humber committed to the delivery of this Clinical Skills and Simulation Strategy. Yorkshire and the Humber Clinical Skills and Simulation Strategy

5 Regional Context The Yorkshire and Humber region has a population of 5.12 million and covers an area of 15, 510 square kilometres. This includes major cities such as Hull, Leeds and Sheffield as well as a number of large towns and rural areas with scattered populations, especially in North Yorkshire. The region has both some of the most thriving and some of the most deprived communities in the country. On a typical day in Yorkshire and the Humber: 144,000 patients will visit their GP or community nurse or receive support from mental health services 5,000 people will go to Accident and Emergency of these, 800 will be admitted to hospital. The healthcare workforce The regional healthcare demographic identifies approximately 140,000 NHS healthcare staff (including doctors and dentists) currently working within 14 Primary Care Trusts (PCTs), 6 Mental Health and Social Care Trusts, 1 Ambulance Trust and 15 Acute Trusts. There are 800 GP practices, 750 dental practices & approximately 1700 Care Homes. NHS Yorkshire and the Humber currently commissions health professional education from 9 universities within the region, supporting the training of approx. 20,000 healthcare students at any given time. Meeting the training demands of all the above in relation to clinical skills acquisition & continuing professional development is a substantial requirement. The Chief Medical Officer stated that Simulation offers an important route to safer care for patients and needs to be more fully integrated into the health service. Within the airline industry, using simulation to constantly practice skills and rehearse emergency situations is considered a vital part of air safety. Comparisons have been drawn with healthcare. (Ref DH Safer Medical Practice 2008) Training requirements cannot be met within education institutions alone. The learning to be encouraged in any organisation is life-long. To be enabled to do this, access to quality assured training with modern resources is essential. NHS Yorkshire and the Humber felt it pertinent to identify what was available across the region in order to assess what investment would be required to meet the future clinical skills training needs for its workforce. Regional mapping exercise The regional mapping exercise Clinical Skills and Simulation in Yorkshire and the Humber (June 08 April 09) identified that whilst there were many areas of good practice there was clear evidence that there was a lack of consistency in relation to: The standards of clinical skills education across Service & Higher Education Institutions The training standards of trainers of clinical skills The investment in clinical skills resources training facilities, equipment & staff The access to training provision - both geographically & across disciplines. The adoption of a multi-disciplinary approach where relevant The co-ordination of training provision across providers resulting in duplication, under & overuse of facilities. The provision, standards & maintenance of equipment These findings formed the basis of the regional Clinical Skills and Simulation Strategy. 5 August 2010

6 Aim/Action Plan 6 Aim To provide direction for the Y&H healthcare workforce to perform all clinical skills procedures safely through simulated techniques that allow patients to be cared for safely by fully trained and competent professionals. This will be achieved through investment in the following to ensure a quality standard across the region; Partnership working & promotion of good practice Establish agreed quality assurance standards for trainers & training across the Yorkshire and the Humber region Sustainable quality clinical skills training facilities delivering equitable access to training across disciplines and organisations Monitoring, evaluation and research Action Plan Partnership working Ensure a sustainable infrastructure that supports partnership working and promotion of good practice Identify key stakeholders 1 Establishment of the Yorkshire and the 2 Humber Clinical Skills Executive Board ensuring representation from all sectors (appendix 1: membership, terms of reference). The function of the Clinical Skills Executive Board will be to advise the NHS Y&H on how best to use the resources available as it is evident that high quality simulated learning environments are vital to deliver fast responsive healthcare services closer to the patient. The group membership will represent the entire workforce with direct patient contact to ensure that the patient remains at the heart of all the progress made. Re - establishment of the Yorkshire and 3 the Humber Clinical Skills Network (CSN) (appendix 2: Membership & terms of reference). The re-established CSN will be supported by the Y&H SHA and will exist to advise and make recommendations to the Executive on issues impacting on the clinical skills trainers and facilities at a local level in the NHS, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and independent sector, within the wider regional context. The group will be supportive in nature using forum meetings and electronic medium, where best practice, innovation and research will be shared and encouraged. The network will link to the Clinical Skills Executive Board through working groups where contributions to developments in areas such as quality assurance mechanisms, research and financial investment will benefit clinical skills both locally and nationally. Yorkshire and the Humber Clinical Skills and Simulation Strategy

7 Action Plan/Quality Standards Establishment of Clinical Skills Project Team 4 The development of a regional clinical skills project team will enable the work undertaken by the Clinical Skill Executive Board and the CSN members to be implemented across the region using the promotion of collaborative work across all healthcare organisations and professional groups. The work will begin following a baseline audit of current provision mapped against the existing information, with needs assessments of the locality to determine the issues and will include assisting with quality assurance processes to unify and monitor the standards of training, leading to improved patient safety and quality of care. The team will analyse the available provision and provide evidence of the investment already made throughout the region. This will include identifying inter-professional learning and working with organisations to identify local solutions to staff attendance and release from the clinical areas to attend training sessions. Areas of best practice will be championed by the team and links to the CSN and Clinical Skills Executive Board will inform all those connected with clinical skills of the existing position on an ongoing basis. The team will provide a framework for the sustainability of clinical skills. Effective Communication Strategy 5 Communication with the wider clinical skills network will be effective through the use of; Website This will be established and supported through the NHS Y&H website initially with the formation of a new, independent website, designed, implemented and maintained by the CSN Newsletter This will be evident on the CSN website Annual Conference The conference will be available and supported by the NHS Y&H with workstreams relevant to the CSN and wider clinical skills training providers such as obstetric emergency training and surgical skills training Influence national developments Opportunities to present the strategy to a wider audience beyond the Y&H region will be embraced Clinical Skills Project Team Will promote clinical skills training and best practice solutions alongside the strategy to all organisations and relevant professional groups in the region Quality Standards Research, consult, develop, recommend, & implement quality standards for clinical skills trainers & programmes Sustainable quality clinical skills training facilities that support equitable access to training across disciplines and organisations Commitment to a 3 year investment plan in a hub-spoke model that will ensure access to a minimum standard of quality training provision across the health economy Establishment of stakeholder sub group to 1 undertake consultation and development of standards Monitor progress and support implementation 2 via the regional quality assurance group and Clinical Skills Executive Board Support the development of a Clinical Skills 3 Passport to provide a mechanism for recording and updating training, with a pilot to explore its potential and use as an electronic tool Develop an audit tool to monitor quality 4 processes 7 August 2010
