This first-of-its-kind initiative in Pakistan aims to equip emergency teams with practical skills to support emotional safety during high-stress interventions.<\/p>\n<p>Implementation is underway in close collaboration with the <strong>Department of Pediatrics<\/strong>, the Pediatric Outreach Centers in CMS, Garden and Karimabad, and the <strong>Centre for Innovation in Medical Education (CIME)<\/strong>. These local partnerships are designed to ensure training reaches clinicians across hospital and outreach settings and that family-centered care principles are embedded in routine practice.<\/p>\n<p>Mentorship from international experts at <strong>SickKids, Toronto<\/strong> and specialists in child life and psychosocial care from <strong>McMaster University, Canada<\/strong> brings targeted guidance in pediatric emergency medicine and simulation-based education. This global collaboration strengthens efforts to advance both clinical excellence and the emotional wellbeing of children and families receiving emergency care in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>So far the SAFE Project team has run three workshops, training more than 75 participants in emotionally safe pediatric care practices and family-centered communication techniques. Clinicians and staff interested in upcoming workshops can contact the SAFE Project team at noor.ulain@aku.edu, ambreen.ahmed@aku.edu or faiza.lakhdhir@aku.edu for details and registration information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how the SAFE Project trains Pakistani clinicians in family-centred pediatric simulation and emotional safety at AKU with global mentorship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":13036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
