Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS) is now available on all PCs at the Hanley Library, Southport Hospital

Picture
OMS is a simulation of specific patient-doctor scenarios for trainees, followed by a guided self-reflection, followed by data and analytics reviewing how the trainee deals with the scenario that they have selected. The simulations are very detailed and involve very thorough detailing of specific patients, interaction with interdisciplinary staff, the administration of medicines and carrying out tests (oxygen levels, breathing etc). It is fun to use which is a major advantage, offering an alternative way to teach using self-exploration.
There are 10 scenarios available to you, each with individual cases involving a range of medical conditions and scenarios.

 The simulations allow the opportunity to:
  • Participate in evidence-based, highly-realistic simulation with fully interactive, acutely unwell patients
  • Treat patients as they would in real life, as well as assessing, managing and interacting with their interdisciplinary team
  • Deal with patients who would, through AI-driven patient behaviour, react with adaptive conversation in a realistic manner
  • Receive feedback and performance metrics almost immediately with a guided self-reflective debrief to see which areas good at/strengths and weaknesses outlined.
  • Opportunity to repeat scenarios after receiving feedback

The software is also available to use at home on your own computers 
​
The scenarios can be screen shot and put in your portfolio as they count towards trainees 45-60 hours CPD.
 

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."  


"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
