  • University of Leicester - Recognising Risks and Improving Patient Safety: This DVD was commissioned by Dr Liz Anderson in the Department of Medical and Social Care Education at the University of Leicester, UK. Produced in partnership with a group of health care and safety experts at Queen's Hospital, Burton, the film draws together real-life patient experiences into a fictionalised story.

Mildred's Story has been reconstructed from the actual experiences of a number of patients.

    • Part Two - (A & E Department) Situational Awareness

  • Mr Kirby's Story - Case Study For Inter-Disciplinary Teaching: This is a short video that was inspired by the case history of a real patient. The video is divided into a series of short scenes and highlights issues around caring for older people who become too infirm to continue to cope with living independently at home. It focuses on the relationships between care professionals, the patient and the patient's family. The following core themes run throughout all parts of the video:

    1. Communication: is it clear, unclear, positive, negative etc.?
    2. Family dynamics and pressures on family to become carers.
    3. The unpopular patient and how this perception impacts on care.
    4. The discharge process - what should be happening at each point in time.

    The video can be used in interprofessional education sessions involving social work, nursing, medical, physiotherapy and occupational therapy students. The video is in seven sections:

    • Part One - In the Acute Hospital
    • Part Two - Relatives Visit the Community Hospital
    • Part Three - Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Case Conference
    • Part Four - Ward Round
    • Part Five - The Social Worker Meets Mr Kirby's Son
    • Part Six - The Social Worker Meets Mr Kirby
    • Part Seven - Conclusion: What Really Happened to Mr Kirby?

  • National League for Nursing Aces (Advancing Care Excellence for Seniors) Unfolding Cases: This resource was designed in the US and consists of four unfolding cases that teach students about older person nursing. An unfolding case is one that evolves over time in a manner that is unpredictable to the learner. New situations develop and are revealed with each encounter. Each case includes:

    • A first-person monologue that introduces the individual or couple and the complex problems they are facing.
    • Simulation scenarios designed to help students practice assessing function and expectations of their patient(s), with links to appropriate evidence-based assessment tools.
    • An innovative activity that asks students to finish the story.
    • An instructor toolkit with suggestions on how to use the various parts of the unfolding cases and incorporate them into the curriculum.
