#BNUODP simulation with our students for emergency during surgery. This was created in our simulation suite and streamed to a debrief room for more students to watch and give feedback on. Of course, this is a challenging scenario but most of the learning is achieved at debrief
We need to develop plans and target investment to help our exhausted and often traumatised healthcare staff to rest and recover from their relentless efforts. It will not be easy because there will be a backlog of care and treatment urgently required. But it is essential.
