ICU nursing staffs’ perception of ALS knowledge, confidence and skill improved through multidisciplinary team-based simulation

A single centre ICU investigated an alternative model of ALS re-accreditation for ICU nurses. The focus changed from one-on-one assessments, to a multidisciplinary, team-based simulation model. Nursing ALS team leaders (ALS T/Ls) were deemed re-accredited by performing the role of ALS T/L to pre-determined standards, in high fidelity simulations.
