Emergency Departments, simulation and leadership

Methods We accomplished three training courses with twelve participants attending course. The first two days were theoretical introductions and the third day was a practical exercise, where the theories and tools learned at the first two days were tested in a case-based full-scale simulation with debriefing afterwards. The simulation reflected different set-ups from a busy clinical day where the focus was on the management of the leadership rather than the clinical skills. All three days were closed by a verbal and written evaluation of the outcome. A questionnaire about the academic content, outcome, application to the clinically work in the departments etc graded from 1 to 6 was used and 6 was best.
