Here, Susan Brookes, clinical and deputy lead, Birmingham and Solihull Training Hub (BSolTH), explains how they set themselves a challenge — namely, how could they ensure that the future general practice workforce understood and appreciated the ever-evolving roles within it? Not only that, how could they show the symbiotic relationships of these roles, include learning opportunities and make it innovative, fun and enhance other skills required to promote confident and competent practitioners? The team then went about creating an escape room experience using the background of gamification as their guide. This first ‘room’ was created for nurses and linked to wound management. Although early days in terms of its use, the initial feedback was good and BSolTH look forward to developing more rooms across a wider range of healthcare professionals.
