SIMS

Most critical medical errors occur in Acute Care where team effectiveness can be the pivotal factor that determines the outcome for the patient. Until now, very little training provision has existed to rehearse team effectiveness.

Simulation addresses this training requirement in a way that no other training methodology can.Rare but critical and time-pressured events can be recreated in a simulation so that protocols can be established and communication problems can be identified and improved upon.

“Hello, you’re my first patient…” – preparing for those first times.In the current wake of growing public awareness of medical errors and a shift in both public and professional opinion that it is no longer acceptable to practice procedures and manage clinical events for the very first time on a patient, simulation can bridge the gap between textbook learning and those ‘first times’.

A simulated environment is safe and risk free for trainees to build their competence and confidence.
