What We Hear from Clinical Educators
Communication is behind most of our complaints and we cover it once, at orientation.
Our preceptors are nurses we pull off the floor, so teaching happens when it's quiet. It's never quiet.
Sim lab runs twice a term. Nights and weekends never get one.
New grads are clinically strong and then a family gets angry and they freeze.
The Conversations Staff Are Least Prepared For
Breaking difficult news
A diagnosis, a complication, an outcome nobody wanted. Rehearsed so the first time is not with a real family.
- Serious diagnoses
- Unexpected outcomes
- Goals-of-care conversations
De-escalation
A distressed patient or family member, in a corridor, with an audience. Practise lowering the temperature.
- Angry or frightened families
- Waiting-time conflict
- Aggression toward staff
Handover and escalation
The communication failures that show up in incident reviews are usually between colleagues, not with patients.
- Shift handover
- Escalating to a senior clinician
- Speaking up about a concern
Assign it by unit, by cohort, by shift
Give a group a set of cases with a due date and a passing score. See who cleared the bar and who needs another attempt, including the staff who never make it to a simulation session.
