The nephrology urology service provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care in a variety of subspecialties, including urology, nephrology, haemodialysis, and renal transplantation. With the passage of time, it has become increasingly important to ensure that best practices are followed at the bedside. To assess and improve the psychomotor skills of nursing staff working in renal services, the Urology and Nephrology service line in partnership with CIME organised a four-day simulation-based workshop.
Seven master trainers and 45 nursing staff participated in this workshop. It incorporated sign-off stations for specialised skills such as supra pubic catheter care, male/female urinary indwelling catheterisation, central line handling, surgical site sterile dressing, urine dipstick monitoring and use of a bladder scanner.
One of the participants said, “After refreshing these specialised skills, I now feel more confident to perform at the bedside. It will help us perform effectively while providing quality care to our patients. As always, I am hopeful that you will continue to engage us in these types of learning activities in the future.”
At the sign-off stations, the participants were graded as proficient, competent, or satisfactory. An online evaluation was also carried out to assess the importance of the sign-off sessions.
