CLINICAL SKILLS
The Post Graduate Medical Education Centre hosts a spacious dedicated clinical skills room for use by undergraduate medical students and trainees.
The Clinical Simulation Team hosts half-day fundamental skills courses for undergraduate medical students in Stage 3 Year 4 aligned to their clinical placement module: EMCC, Women’s Health and Child Health. Students on EMCC will attend an additional surgical skills study day.
Medical students in Stage 3 Year 5 have access to refresh all fundamental skills in preparation for final OSCE’s and transition to Foundation Year 1.
EMCC
CLINICAL SKILLS FOR UNDERGRADUATES
YEAR 3, STAGE 4
EMCC
During your EMCC placement at Medway Maritime Hospital you will have access to the clinical skills facilities for two timetabled taught sessions as well as access to skills boxes for self-directed practice. You will also be introduced to basic clinical simulation as an aid to learning, including professional behaviours; A- E assessment and clinical escalation.

Year 3, Stage 5
CLINICAL SKILLS FOR UNDERGRADUATES
Year 3, Stage 5
During your stage 3 year 5 placement at Medway Maritime Hospital you will have access to the clinical skills facilities for three timetabled taught sessions – fundamental clinical skills; surgical skills; and variable rate intravenous insulin infusions. By request we will facilitate time in the Trust Infusion Suite to support acquisition of blood and blood product transfusion skills. Clinical skills boxes are available to loan for self-directed revision.
You will undertake more advanced clinical simulation to consolidate learning, including professional behaviours; A- E assessment; identification of deteriorating patient and clinical escalation.
