Why was it done?

The junior doctors in clinical basic training have increasingly requested more training, specifically in the use of the medication module (MEM) of the electronic health record and the shared medication record (FMK). Therefore, in agreement with the teaching-responsible doctor and the junior doctor educational coordinator in the emergency department, It was decided to implement a system on a trial basis where the clinical basic training doctors were scheduled for training sessions marked as \\\’their turn\\\’ on a given day.
We aimed to assess whether the presence of pharmacy technicians and pharmacists for peer-to-peer training could improve the junior doctors\\\’ proficiency in using the MEM and FMK.

What was done?

In the emergency department at Gødstrup Hospital, pharmacy technicians and pharmacists provided peer-to-peer training for junior doctors in clinical basic training on the use of the MEM in the electronic health record and the FMK.

How was it done?

The doctors scheduled for peer-to-peer training on the given day were contacted, and the training began accordingly. Pharmacy technicians and pharmacists prepared a list of relevant topics in advance to guide the sessions. However, the training was primarily based on the specific questions each doctor had regarding the medication module and/or the shared medication record.

What has been achieved?

To assess whether the training is beneficial for the junior doctors in clinical basic training, we asked them directly after each session if they found the training useful. The general consensus is that it is beneficial. It was reported several times, that the involved junior doctors discovered and learned useful tools and techniques during the training sessions. This will hopefully further aid and support their work at the emergency department.

What next?

It is planned that the training will be repeated each time a new group of junior doctors in clinical basic training joins the department.
