Mindfulness practice is evidenced to reduce symptoms of stress, as well as burnout, which is high amongst health workers. The operating theatre is unique, with many job-roles, needs and time-critical tasks. It is plausible that group mindfulness may benefit the surgical team.

Going beyond teaching competency and ensuring capability is imperative, as recommended by the national outcomes for medical graduates. A course on intravenous cannulation was developed with e-learning modules and high-fidelity complex simulation scenarios, aiming to promote capability in practice. The course delivered an intravenous cannulation e-learning package between two practical simulations to 10 final-year medical students. The hybrid simulation design consisted of an actor with a bespoke cannulation part-task trainer strapped to their arm. Each simulation delivered a challenging scenario, requiring the integration of procedural and behavioural skills to succeed. Simulations were video recorded, and participants reviewed their performances before completing semi-structured interviews. Transcribed interviews were thematically analysed. Interview analysis demonstrated two overarching themes: ‘Impact on Capability’ and ‘Preparedness for Practice’. There was consistent recognition of improved capability from the interviews. Simulation exercises were described as the most valuable tool for developing capability. The e-learning helped with structure, facilitating students' adaptation to scenarios. Participants felt that training in medical school was largely competency-based and did not tackle complex interactions. Following e-learning and simulations, students felt more prepared for clinical practice. The course structure has value for medical professionals in developing capability and preparing for clinical practice, helping to reach standards expected of graduates.
