Starting today, the FHSS USB building in U Výstaviště street 26 is hosting an international event called the International Staff Week which focuses on the instruction of professional subjects in the Nursing study programme. Participants are 34 teachers from 13 European countries and Turkey. Other foreign participants are joining online. In the opening of the event, director of the Institute of Nursing, Midwifery and Emergency Care and Vice-Dean for Science and Research prof. PhDr. Valérie Tóthová, Ph.D. warmly welcomed the participants with the following words: “I believe that the exchange of information and comprehensive discussion will contribute to the development of nursing.”
She introduced the main organizers of the event doc. PhDr. Marie Trešlová, Ph.D. and Mgr. František Dolák, Ph.D., Head of the Simulation Centre who later informed the guests about the foundation of the Simulation Centre for Health-oriented Fields which was launched by our faculty in autumn 2020. He added that as it was the first centre of this type in the Czech Republic, its creators appreciated all the inspiring experience from abroad – namely from Finland, Spain, the USA, and Latvia. Nevertheless, creating and establishing the Centre is just the first step. The most important thing is to provide high quality instruction for students. The instruction of students is conditioned by pre-programming diverse situations which students are supposed to deal with. Those scenarios represent a significant part of the programme of the International Staff Week.
The second speaker was prof. dr. József Betlehem, Ph.D. from the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Pécs in Hungary. He updated the audience on the latest achievements in health care education, current trends in simulation teaching and in teaching based on scenarios. His contribution opened the professional programme comprising of various presentations, a seminar on introducing simulation into curricula, and workshops in the Simulation Centre of the FHSS USB. The participants had an opportunity to visit the Centre on Monday, on the following days they are going to work in individual rooms.
The first simulation centre for health-oriented fields in the Czech Republic was launched by our faculty in September 2020. In U Výstaviště street 26 building were established hospital rooms, a delivery room, an intensive care unit, and a realistic cabin of an ambulance. Everything is equipped with functional medical appliances and patients are represented by sophisticated computer-controlled dummies which simulate breathing, pulse, circulation, etc. They may be connected to machines; simulators react to the procedures performed, and teachers can communicate through them with students. Simulation instruction happens thanks to control rooms and other spaces where teachers watch and evaluate students’ performance which leads to their independence and preparedness for their future profession.
