High-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) represent a group of acute infectious diseases with the potential to impact healthcare systems and public health profoundly. Effective management requires a system-based strategy focused on early detection, initiation of infection prevention and control measures, and appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Inadequate training in the safe use of HCID PPE, and lack of familiarity with key processes such as HCID waste and spills management, exacerbates the risk posed to healthcare workers (HCWs). Enhanced training opportunities are required to ensure that staff are equipped with the necessary knowledge and capabilities to protect themselves from pathogen exposure and infection. To create a bespoke interprofessional HCID simulation training programme. A detailed learning needs analysis was undertaken, which identified multiple areas amenable to educational intervention. A full-day HCID simulation programme was developed, providing HCWs the opportunity to practice and gain proficiency in various domains. Six interprofessional participants took part in the HCID simulation programme pilot. All six (100%) participants felt that the stated learning objectives had been achieved, and five and one participants found the programme to be extremely useful (83%) or very useful (17%), respectively. Following refinement based on pilot feedback, a further six courses have been run for 38 participants, of whom 97% found the programme to be extremely useful or very useful. The development of a training intervention in the low-frequency, high-risk field of HCIDs had a positive impact. Given the disproportionate impact on HCWs at times of HCID outbreaks, more investment is needed to keep the workforce upskilled.

严重后果的传染病：多学科、跨专业模拟培训计划的构思和开发

严重后果传染病（HCID）代表一组可能对医疗保健系统和公共卫生产生深远影响的急性传染病。有效的管理需要基于系统的策略，重点关注早期发现、启动感染预防和控制措施以及适当使用个人防护装备 (PPE)。安全使用 HCID 个人防护装备方面的培训不足，以及对 HCID 废物和泄漏管理等关键流程缺乏熟悉，加剧了医护人员 (HCW) 面临的风险。需要加强培训机会，以确保工作人员具备必要的知识和能力，以保护自己免受病原体暴露和感染。创建定制的跨专业 HCID 模拟培训计划。我们进行了详细的学习需求分析，确定了多个适合教育干预的领域。开发了全天 HCID 模拟计划，为医护人员提供了在各个领域进行练习和熟练掌握的机会。六名跨专业参与者参加了 HCID 模拟项目试点。所有六名 (100%) 参与者均认为已实现规定的学习目标，五名和一名参与者分别认为该计划极其有用 (83%) 或非常有用 (17%)。根据试点反馈进行完善后，又为 38 名参与者开设了 6 门课程，其中 97% 的人认为该计划非常有用或非常有用。在 HCID 的低频、高风险领域开展培训干预措施产生了积极影响。鉴于 HCID 爆发时对医护人员造成的不成比例的影响，需要更多投资来保持劳动力技能的提高。
