ConnecT Team Skills Training Study

The ConnecT Study forms part of a PhD thesis investigating teamwork training in healthcare.  We hope to understand and make recommendations about whether the training is effective in improving teamwork attitudes and behaviours, and, if so, whether it is best provided in the classroom, simulator, or both. 

The ConnecT Study will be the first study worldwide to evaluate the effectiveness of healthcare simulation and classroom based teamwork training in combination, using a control group that has not undergone training.
