Objective: To describe the case of a woman with a longstanding misdiagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), in whom diabetes remission was achieved following surgical resection of adrenal pheochromocytoma.
Methods: We present a case report with accompanying biochemical, histologic, and genetic investigation results.
Results: We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with a 13-year history of apparent T1DM, and her presentation with intermittent exertional nausea.
Background: The patient safety agenda has propelled the rise of simulation education, but relatively few evaluations of simulation-based educational interventions have focused on patient outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of an in situ, high-fidelity simulation teaching intervention on the management of community-acquired pneumonia in the ambulatory care unit of a district general hospital.
Methods: This study used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the impact of a programme of 10 in situ high-fidelity simulation education sessions delivered to a total of 10 junior doctors, nine nurses and seven healthcare assistants.
