Abstract
Hospital at Home (HaH) provides hospital-level care within patients' homes. With services expanding, a London HaH service embedded new junior doctor posts. Currently, gaps exist in the under- and postgraduate curriculum to develop clinical skills required to deliver care in this context. HaH simulation (HaH-SIM) was developed, through a multi-cycle QIP, to improve early-career doctors' confidence in providing care in this unfamiliar environment. Surveys before and after HaH-SIM assessed confidence in practical, clinical and communication skills; ranked concerns; rated sessions and gained qualitative feedback. 41 doctors participated over 2 years. It currently includes six low-fidelity stations and three high-fidelity stations. Confidence improved, particularly in managing end of life, decision-making around hospital admission and administering intravenous medications/fluids. High-fidelity scenarios, practical skills and prescribing stations were most highly rated. As HaH services expand, HaH-SIM is a feasible, effective and transferable way of improving early-career doctors' confidence and skills to provide care in patients' homes.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector.
Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice through original research, review and comment. The journal also includes a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.
