Article Abstract
Objective: The study reports the use of a nominal group technique (NGT) to evaluate the PEARLS Healthcare debriefing tool as a tool to foster non-technical skills in trauma simulation courses. Additionally, it introduces a debriefing card to be used in trauma courses.
Design: A nominal group technique was used to evaluate the main strategies for PEARLS. The experts had the opportunity to share their opinions in an online survey and online meeting.
Results: Seven participants participated in the nominal group. Based on the online survey results, the self-assessment debriefing strategy (from PEARLS) was rated 4.83/5 in relevance, the focused facilitation 5/5, and the provision of information 4.5/5. Participants felt that PEARLS was appropriate and useful for fostering non-technical skills: all the debriefing strategies contained in PEARLS were felt to be valid and worth using; and cue cards for the instructors were suggested to assist them in conducting structured formal debriefings. A specific debriefing tool for trauma scenarios was designed based on these suggestions, which is presented in this article.
Conclusion: A nominal group of experts in education, simulation, and trauma support PEARLS strategies for non-technical skills training in trauma courses.

Background: Live tissue training (LTT) refers to the use of live anaesthetised animals for the purpose of medical education. It is a type of simulation training that is contentious, and there is an ethical imperative for educators to justify the use of animals. This should include scrutinising educational practices.

Introduction: Modern orthopaedic residency training increasingly integrates knowledge, skills, and behavior (KSB), in line with updated American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines. Developments in simulation technology-including high-fidelity simulators, virtual reality, and data-driven assessment tools-enable programs to target both technical and non-technical competencies. This paper examines how innovations in simulation, curriculum design, and performance assessment are shaping the future of orthopaedic education.

Leadership is increasingly recognised as an essential non-technical skill for effective surgical practice, particularly in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) due to its multidisciplinary nature and clinical scope. The aim of this review is to identify current leadership development opportunities available to UK OMFS specialty trainees, evaluate their sufficiency, and propose areas for improvement. A comprehensive search of published and grey literature was conducted, screening 2796 articles, with 18 meeting the inclusion criteria.

Occupational ApplicationsThe analysis of communication, attention, and cognitive engagement relative to leadership and non-technical skills (NTS) is important for understanding the team dynamic within clinical settings. We found negative correlations between passive communication (receiving information instead of dictating information) and leadership scores, suggesting that passive leadership traits lead to weaker technical leadership performance. Additionally, continuously sharing goals and providing affirmations to patients had positive relationships with leadership scores.
