Participants led a planning meeting with the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) team, then a family donation conversation (FDC) with the family of the potential donor. Professional actors played family members during scenarios based on real cases. A three-stage debriefing process including video-reflexive feedback followed the FDC. Eighty participants completed the training, which was universally well received, with participants reporting a wide range of educational benefits and increased confidence. There has been an increase in the family consent rate for OTD in NSW over the duration of the programme. Whether the training contributed to this increase is unclear at this stage.</p>en-us<p>Due to copyright restrictions this book chapter is unavailable for download.</p> <p>© 2018 by John Wiley & Sons</p> <p><em>Healthcare Simulation Education: Evidence, Theory and Practice</em> can be accessed from the publisher <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119061656">here.</a></p> <p>Staff and Students of Avondale College may access <em>Healthcare Simulation Education: Evidence, Theory and Practice</em> from Avondale College Library via a PRIMO search <a href="https://avondale-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=AVN">here.</a></p>organ donationtissue donationsimulationdiscussionBook Chapter
