title: The One Minute Wonder Network.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The European Working Time Directive has had a well-documented impact on training, and therefore educational opportunities should be maximised. The clinical day has frequent short, routine pauses that could allow for brief bites of medical education. The One Minute Wonder Network was developed to take advantage of these pauses, and has created an additional educational opportunity within the normal working day.
  
  
  METHODS
  One Minute Wonders (OMW) are focused educational displays that contain information that can be read and absorbed in just 1 minute. They are displayed on boards located where teams regularly briefly wait and experience dead time. The board topics change weekly and feature clinical topics related to the department. Written displays are shared between board hosts through the project website, enabling many departments to freely benefit from each OMW and the educational resource.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The network of OMW boards has expanded across several specialties in addition to emergency medicine, and has been welcomed by trainees. There is now a large archive of OMWs available to share.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  One Minute Wonder boards are a novel opportunity for the education and training of an entire multidisciplinary team.
