Pre-Semester Nursing Laboratory Safety Inductions - Are they effective?
Gathering of Healthcare Simuliation Technology Specialists (SimGHOSTS) Conference, 2015 (Brisbane, Australia, 24-Jun-2015–26-Jun-2015)

Abstract
Safety inductions prior to commencing laboratory and simulation classes are important to ensure the safety of the students as well as the staff working in these environments. An on line induction program was designed as a multimedia learning module to address student responsibilities in the lab/sim areas, workplace health and safety guidelines, and University policies and procedures. This was then evaluated using a mixed methods approach with collection of data at three points.
This presentation will summarise the findings of this research and outline the evolving nature of our induction programs, including future plans for the creation of a virtual lab/sim environment and use of gamification. This will be of interest to simulation technicians, academics and clinicians responsible for preparing students for their clinical classes.
