[Status of the implementation of simulation-based education in Germany: A cross-sectional study]. / Stand der Umsetzung des simulationsbasierten Lehrens in Deutschland.

Status of the implementation of simulation-based education in Germany: A cross-sectional study Abstract. Background: The importance of simulation-based learning in nursing education is growing. Its success depends on the qualification of facilitators and the use of standards. Up to now, there has been a lack of data on the state of implementation of simulation-based learning in nursing education in Germany. Research question: Which qualification level do simulation facilitators show in nursing education in Germany and which concepts and standards are used? Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among simulation facilitators in three different educational areas. The questionnaire included socio-demographic and professional characteristics as well as qualification measures completed, and concepts and standards applied. Data were analysed descriptively by determining arithmetic means plus standard deviation (SD) or absolute and relative frequencies. Results: A total of 156 simulation facilitators (mean age 41.5 (SD 9.8) years, 74.2% female) participated. 95.4% of participants reported being (very) highly motivated for simulation-based learning. Specific simulation pedagogy training was completed by 16.8% of participants. The application of evidence-based concepts is not occurring across the board. Conclusions: Against the background of international standards, qualification needs for simulation facilitators in Germany become apparent. Increased specific, standardized continuing education and training as well as the establishment of evidence-based concepts are important for high quality in simulation facilitation.

[Self-governance from the perspective of the chamber of physicians]. / Selbstverwaltung aus Sicht der Ärztekammer.

The self-government of physicians in Germany is an enormous privilege for the profession. The core tasks of medical associations are the design of the professional framework, specialist and continuing education, and quality assurance. A look at history reveals important developments within the profession and its changing relationships with politics and also the different systems of government and constantly changing professional policy orientations, which are continuously changing and must be permanently shaped by the medical profession. In particular, the relationship to health insurance companies, to the economy, and to politics should be mentioned here. What is new, on the other hand, are the changing expectations in the medical profession, the shortage of skilled workers, management and care structures, and new types of ownership, for example, in centers providing medical care. The basic ethical code of physicians-scientific knowledge, experience, personal attitude, and human compassion-continue to be of utmost importance. Taking into account the rapid developments within modern medicine and the increasing expectations of society, additional qualifications that go beyond the historically traditional characteristics of the "good physician" are needed today and in the future. These new demands complement and deepen the relationship between patients, society, and the medical profession. In order to practice personalized medicine, the profession needs to be free from all sociopolitical directives.

Practice and reflection on continuing education and training of clinical pharmacists in the neurology department / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for continuing education and training of clinical pharmacists. METHODS The revision of the syllabus and the improvement of training methods of practical skills training class for clinical pharmacists in the neurology department held by Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from 2007 to 2022 was sorted to summarize its advantages and characteristics. RESULTS Training programs were developed to benefit clinical pharmacists at different levels， and the training contents were adjusted according to the training programs and the needs of trainees. Teachers with teaching experience were selected to participate in the teaching. Theory teaching was combined with practice teaching in the teaching process， and case teaching and question-based teaching methods were adopted to benefit both senior clinical pharmacists and new clinical pharmacists. In addition， the influence of the training class was expanded through online teaching， so that doctors and pharmacists could communicate and learn together on the platform of the training class. For example， when designing the training program， we replaced one common neurological disease every two years， and carried rollover study on its new progress and new ideas； clinical pharmacist skill course was reduced， drug history writing， information retrieval and test index interpretation were compressed into clinical pharmacy skill course. CONCLUSIONS The continuing education platform is established for clinical pharmacists； new knowledge and concepts that clinical pharmacists of this specialty need to be familiar with are compiled into the teaching syllabus， and the experts who are familiar with the training of clinical pharmacists are selected to explain to the students so that the students could follow the platform to constantly update their knowledge and improve the ability of clinical pharmacists to participate in the clinic work.

Continuing professional development requirements for UK health professionals: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVES: This paper sets out to establish the numbers and titles of regulated healthcare professionals in the UK and uses a review of how continuing professional development (CPD) for health professionals is described internationally to characterise the postqualification training required of UK professions by their regulators. It compares these standards across the professions and considers them against the best practice evidence and current definitions of CPD. DESIGN: A scoping review. SEARCH STRATEGY: We conducted a search of UK health and social care regulators' websites to establish a list of regulated professional titles, obtain numbers of registrants and identify documents detailing CPD policy. We searched Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracs (ASSIA), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline, EMCare and Scopus Life Sciences, Health Sciences, Physical Sciences and Social Sciences & Humanities databases to identify a list of common features used to describe CPD systems internationally and these were used to organise the review of CPD requirements for each profession. RESULTS: CPD is now mandatory for the approximately 1.5 million individuals registered to work under 32 regulated titles in the UK. Eight of the nine regulators do not mandate modes of CPD and there is little requirement to conduct interprofessional CPD. Overall 81% of those registered are required to engage in some form of reflection on their learning but only 35% are required to use a personal development plan while 26% have no requirement to engage in peer-to-peer learning. CONCLUSIONS: Our review highlights the wide variation in the required characteristics of CPD being undertaken by UK health professionals and raises the possibility that CPD schemes are not fully incorporating the best practice.
