Abstract
Background Medical simulation and team training is widely used and the effect on learning is generally accepted. However, full scale simulation is expensive and time consuming. Mornings in the Emergency Department (ED) are often quiet leaving time for other activities. The trauma teams are well organized, and they participate in team training regularly. In contrast, even though medical and surgical patients are often at least as complex as trauma patients, they are managed only by a few nurses and a junior physician, and the team work is rarely trained. We wanted to test the feasibility of a simple and costfree setup, aimed at increasing the teamwork abilities of our staff.
