HPMA Excellence Award for Hywel Dda team members
They have been recognised for their work in adapting the training provided to staff to include Aston Core teamwork principles to improve outcomes for patients on our wards.
The courses allow multi-professional teams consisting of healthcare support workers, registered nursing staff and foundation year one and two to be trained together in one session.
To date, there has been a decrease in the incidence of cardiac arrest calls from the general ward areas.
Sian and Tony oversaw the development of ward-based simulation scenarios to recognise and escalate the unwell patient to allow for timely medical management.

The education environment was also adapted to allow for reflective simulation.
Although Aston teamwork concepts are not new, it is thought that this is the first time they have been integrated into Rapid Response to Acute Illness (RRAILS)/human factors/resuscitation education programmes.
The underlying principles of team working were evident, said the judges. There was purposeful building of effective multidisciplinary teamwork rather than just theoretical application. Not only was the project practical and frontline, it was also systemic and sustainable.
