Last week doctors and nurses from the East of England region, Wales and the Lake District came together to create video tutorials using the simulation facilities at Cambridge University Hospitals. Many were members of the Burmese diaspora, who are healthcare workers in the NHS. The video tutorials have been designed to support Myanmar health care professionals in managing common emergency medical situations with minimal resources. The videos cover nearly 24 topics including paediatrics, neonates, trauma, emergency medicine and obstetrics and gynaecology. They are low bandwidth short video clips that will be uploaded on the Myanmar Clinical Guidance website. Preparing scripts, rehearsals, repeating voiceovers and doing role plays was both fun and exciting. The next video tutorial sessions will be held in October.
