Thank you for all for participating in the session today.  The scenario was of a 12 year old given Adrenaline by error. Task was to inform and explain error to parent. Dr D & Dr D took the hotseat in the two sessions and Dr B and Dr V were excellent role players.
The scenario and task was felt to be difficult but a huge learning opportunity.

Learning points:

• Simple language
• Be aware of ‘What you say & How you say “
• Speak slowly and let Role player finish before responding.
• Stay calm and follow the 30 seconds rule
• Appropriate apology but do not over do the apology
• Busy in ‘Clinic’ sounds better than busy in ‘Meeting’ – if waiting to meet ‘Consultant’.
• Accept ‘Human error’.
• Errors can never be ‘completely eliminated.
• Medications vs drugs
• PALS / Datex / Incident Reporting form / Error Reporting / Root Cause Analysis
• Understand the concept of above
• Hot seat and Examiner perspective are very helpful in understanding the approach
