Made From Scratch
by Stuart Riby, Olivia Charlton and Chris Gay
Moulage is an area of medical simulation that is growing both in sophistication and popularity. The HILS simulation program is established and has a progressive technical team but has never dabbled in the world of moulage due to lack of ability and knowledge in this field and staffing and time. The appointment of an apprentice simulation technician meant that they could branch out into some of the areas they have been unable to in recent years. In the presentation they demonstrate how their apprentice has helped them go from zero use of moulage to regular use for courses that are starting to grow in complexity. Their apprentice has developed and run the first HILS moulage course for medical students – they will run a lite-version of this as part of the workshop.
From a strategic point of view the session addresses how to identify weaknesses in your team, finding a solution and developing this solution and utilising the strengths and enthusiasm of individuals in your team. The main objective of this session is not to instruct others how to apply moulage, but to show how those who have little or no previous experience can begin using and implementing moulage.
Learning Objectives:
• To understand how the apprentice role can be tailored to address key areas.
• To understand how to begin learning moulage and begin using moulage.
• To learn some easy to use methods in moulage for beginners
