Background: Millions of children are treated annually for trauma-related injuries but comprise a smaller proportion of emergency department visits than adults. As a result, emergency department teams may not have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to care for pediatric patients, and specialty teams may not interact enough as an interprofessional team to provide high-quality patient care.
Objective: The purpose of this project is to describe a novel interprofessional simulation-based education initiative to assist pediatric trauma team readiness.
Background: Despite modern treatment approaches and a focus on community care, there remains a group of people who cannot easily be discharged from psychiatric hospital directly into the community. Twenty-four hour residential rehabilitation (a 'ward-in-a-house') is one model of care that has evolved in association with psychiatric hospital closure programmes.
Objectives: To determine the effects of 24 hour residential rehabilitation compared with standard treatment within a hospital setting.
Background: Internal fixation of fractures using plates and screws is a common method of treatment. Occasionally the internal fixation fails prior to fracture healing. This often requires revision surgery.
