Effective clinical training for health professionals in a large health service plays a vital role in delivery of patient care. Previous training methods for clinical staff encompass didactic teaching styles. Progressive methods use interactive technology to encourage problem solving. This project explored two contemporary learning activities trialed within existing allied health and nursing training courses and developed a facilitator guide for incorporating non-traditional training methods into existing courses. Digital escape rooms and the Kahoot! Game learning platform were selected as the contemporary activities to be trialed. Results indicated that contemporary learning methods did improve participant engagement, learner motivations and overall performance in training content knowledge. Active engagement with the training content and with other learners also revealed improvement in retention and recall of training content.
