Popis: Aims Working within a tertiary hospital with multiple paediatric teams can make it difficult for paediatric trainees to attend teaching sessions during the day The GMC has emphasised the importance of institutions’ duty to foster an environment of learning. We therefore set out to create an innovative teaching programme that would bring these teams together in an informal educational setting with the opportunity to meet other members of the MDT. Methods In September 2018, the paediatric team devised a plan to make paediatric themes accessible to the wider MDT. This was achieved through quarterly teaching sessions incorporating the Pecha KuchaTM style of presentation utilizing ‘short sharp bursts’ of up to date paediatric teaching involving an evening of 6–7-minute presentations, occasionally with one longer presentation (10–20 minutes) on a wide range of topics. The sessions run for 90 minutes after afternoon handover to ensure optimal attendance. Results Since the start of the programme 6 sessions have taken place and were well attended. Following each session, we obtained feedback via SurveyMonkey to allow us to refine and improve the evenings. Initially feedback showed that 79% rated it ‘highly enjoyable’ and 71% stated it was ‘highly educational’ but didn’t like the longer presentation. As we continued to respond to feedback the ratings improved with 92% rating it ‘excellent’ but suggested that 8% still found the ‘pace too fast’. General comments suggested further MDT involvement and with increased incorporation of this feedback has remained excellent. Conclusions The evenings have been well received amongst attendees. Comments so far shows the Pecha KuchaTM style of presentation fosters a sociable atmosphere and positive learning environment. Constant feedback loops have allowed continual improvement with emphasis on ways to encourage not only MDT attendance but also MDT participation and presentation. Members of MDT and paediatric trainees all enjoyed the teaching and particularly commented on its ‘informal and enjoyable atmosphere’. There is a wide scope for improving the format and content with a long list of healthcare professionals keen to take up the challenge of delivering a PED Talk.
