Welcome! We recreate emergency or difficult scenarios (using actors and our family of mannequins) to help train staff at Homerton Hospital

Joined March 2014
This morning we ran OpSim, three different simultaneous in situ simulations in our operating theatres and theatre recovery. Thanks to the ODPs, nurses, orthopods and anaesthetists who took part!

If medical students and trainees are taught to recognize symptoms of disease in only white patients and learn to perform lifesaving maneuvers on only male-bodied mannequins, medical educators may be unwittingly contributing to health disparities.

These past few weeks have shown that inequality and structural racism very much exists. We owe it to our NHS staff to find out how to be better – at Hackney, London
This summer, we’ll be publishing our report examining how three NHS trusts have sought to address workforce race inequalities and we'll also be exploring the experiences of ethnic minority staff working in the NHS. Find out more about our project here: kingsfund.org.uk/projects/in…

Much appreciated! 👏 – at Hackney, London
Brilliant to be able to get refreshments to our NHS staff on such a hot day ☀️ @NHSHomerton was one of four stops today, delivering 15 tonnes of supplies with @h15church 👏 Made possible thanks to the generous donation of lifelong Gooner, Peter Olsen

RCUK has been in discussion with @PHE_uk on the question of PPE for Health Care Professionals performing chest compressions. RCUK’s position on the need for Level 3 PPE remains unchanged and consistent with our original COVID-19 Guidance. Our statement: bit.ly/2VaI0H1

@MattHancock @CNOEngland @HomertonIPC @HomertonSim @theRCN @RCNLondon @NightingaleLDN Was wondering why myself and my colleagues are wearing gowns and aprons and face shields that are designed for single use but are being reused until they fall apart

Before this pandemic, they were paediatric doctors, theatre nurses, physiotherapists and surgeons but as the crisis continues they’re all becoming ITU workers. Thanks @leonrestaurants for providing lunch on this vital training day #LEON @NHSHomerton @HomertonSafety

Thanks Wasabi! Our team ran our second ITU training day for redeployed nurses, physios, doctors and medical students today. It’s been a stressful time for lots of staff so it was a real treat to offer them some… instagram.com/p/B-r2O2gBlbk/…
