Purpose
This peer feedback tool is for multidisciplinary clinical teachers who incorporate simulation-based learning in their teaching. -
Before you Start
1. Review the form with the teacher being observed 2. Discuss what areas for feedback are a priority for the teacher being observed
3. Decide the time frame of observation(s)
4. Once completed, discuss your observation with the teacher before signing off.

Clinical Simulation & Teaching
-
Tick the box if the facilitator is teaching with simulators or simulated patients
-
The facilitator conducted a pre-simulation briefing with learners<br>
-
Put the learners at ease and created a supportive and motivating environment.
-
Gave learners a clear conception of the structure and goals of the learning activity
-
Explored learners' expectations and personal learning priorities (e.g. for feedback)
-
Made standards explicit on how individual or team performance would be judged
-
Encouraged learners to mentally simulate and anticipate behaviors in the upcoming task (e.g. with 'What if ...?' questions
-

Clinical Simulation - Task Management & Leadership
-
Tick the box if the facilitator ran the simulation exercise
-
Has a clear understanding of the design, aims and expected outcomes of the simulation scenario
-
Works effectively with support staff to set up and trouble shoot the simulation task (e.g. checking technology, documentation or coordinating actors)
-
Monitors the simulation task and takes leadership when required - e.g to direct clinical progression or to pause or stop the exercise
-
Uses different strategies to support learning in simulation (e.g.using time out, bed-side teaching, phone a friend)
-
Links simulation-based learning to safety theory and wider system issues regarding professional practice.
-
Is effective in focussing on both clinical and non technical issues related to the simulation tasks.
-
Keeps to timings in running the simulation tasks

Clinical Simulation - Debriefing
-
You can base your observations on a single debrief or a series of different ones across the programme
-
Tick the box if the facilitator led the debriefing session
-
Allows all the simulation participants to come out of role (e.g. How was that? What was challenging for the team? )
-
Explains structure of session, people's roles, and recalls learning objectives - including individual and team feedback priorities
-
Creates conditions so that learners take an active part in the debrief
-
Prompts learners to actively seek feedback on what is important to them.
-
Ensures that discussions about what people observed are analytical - (e.g. WHAT specific behaviors contributed to shared understandings in the team)
-
Re-aligns discussion to key learning themes, if necessary, and signposts transitions to different topics clearly.<br>
-
Uses a variety of questioning techniques so that all learners are involved.
-
Uses techniques like 'pair-work' to generate discussion and or to give practice in specific skills (e.g. SBAR handovers)
-
Shares expertise and probes reasoning without being judgmental (e.g. using advocacy and inquiry techniques)
-
Reinforces areas of good practice to be shared.
-
Monitors group understanding and highlights take home messages (e.g. asking learners to summarize key points)
-
Elicits future strategies to bridge performance gaps.
-
Uses different teaching resources effectively (e.g. white boards, video, observer sheets)

Sets clear goals for small group learning tasks and gives clear instructions.
-
Enables group interactions by generating a positive atmosphere where learners feel safe to speak up or make mistakes.
-
Builds on and relates tasks to prior knowledge and experience of learners.
-
Promotes critical thinking ad collective problem solving.
-
Use a variety of group dynamic techniques including:
- Active listening
- Reinforcing

- Non-verbal direction
- What if questions
- Silent monitoring
- Advocacy & Inquiry
- Signposting
-
Is sensitive to teacher talk and avoids dominating the conversation

-
Questioning gives equal opportunities to different roles to engage in the discussion
