A regular ISS programme was organised for the multiprofessional gastroenterology team with a primary objective of identifying, classifying and addressing latent patient safety threats and secondary objectives of improving team confidence and individual role recognition.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>22 unannounced ISS sessions (averaging approximately one session every 6\u2009weeks and four participants per session) were conducted between February 2017 and August 2019 involving multiprofessional team members. The sessions centred around the following four common gastrointestinal emergency scenarios: massive upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage; biliary sepsis (cholangitis) and shock; postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography complications including perforation and cardiac arrest. Following the simulation, the faculty, which included nurses and doctors, facilitated a structured debrief session and action plan to identify and address latent errors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>96 participants from nursing, medical, physician associate and pharmacy backgrounds took part in the simulation programme. Analysis of collected latent safety threats identified the following four themes: education and training; equipment; medication and team working. Analysis of anonymously completed questionnaires identified that 95% of participants had a perceived better understanding of their role and 86% felt more confident in assessing an unwell patient. 96% of participants felt comfortable during the debrief.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>ISS provides a unique opportunity to train the multiprofessional gastroenterology team in their own high-pressured environment, helping identify and address latent patient safety threats and improve perceived participant confidence and role recognition.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/flgastro-2019-101307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,8]],"date-time":"2020-01-08T17:15:47Z","timestamp":1578503747000},"page":"351-357","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Multiprofessional in situ simulation is an effective method of identifying latent patient safety threats on the gastroenterology ward"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5150-6376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Uttley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, Stockport, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deborah","family":"Suggitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, Stockport, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Baxter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, Stockport, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wisam","family":"Jafar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, Stockport, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090708315148000_11.5.351.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.b3595","article-title":"Improving patient safety through training in non-technical skills","volume":"339","author":"Flin","year":"2009","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2025090708315148000_11.5.351.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/qshc.2004.009829"},{"key":"2025090708315148000_11.5.351.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2017-015977","article-title":"Improving patient safety through better teamwork: how effective are different methods of simulation Debriefing? protocol for a pragmatic, prospective and randomised study","volume":"7","author":"Freytag","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2025090708315148000_11.5.351.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0169604","article-title":"The effectiveness of teamwork training on teamwork behaviors and team performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled interventions","volume":"12","author":"McEwan","year":"2017","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2025090708315148000_11.5.351.5","unstructured":"Gaba D .
