Results:

Phase 1

Students asked for feedback in simulated learning sessions were very positive about the realistic appearance of the simulated skin reactions. Creating the simulated reactions was not as time consuming as first thought, with makeup students completing simulated reactions effects in around 1 hour. Liverpool make up students were very positive about the effects they created and enjoyed working collaboratively with radiotherapy students and academic staff. Limitations: simulated make up was applied to neck and arm sites only on skin type 1 volunteers, for phase II we would like to explore the use of moulage on more intimate body parts and ensure that the simulated patient/actor is representative of the diverse patient population we treat.

Phase II

Data collection and analysis is on-going, further funds have been awarded to cover costs of actors to ensure moulage effects are applied to all skin types. The project team are now working with the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) special interest group (SIG) on further work supporting the drive to ensure that pre-registration education is inclusive and that all patient's information and support needs are met.
