Simulation Based Event

A simulation based education event aims to improve the knowledge, skills and attitudes in a replicated environment, and provides a range of learning opportunities to:

• replicate invasive or low frequency/high risk events for participants to experience, providing a clear link to the real world through reproduction of actual events,
• adapt the scenarios to suit the requirements of the experience, ability and working environment of the group,
• provide an effective means to assess technical skills, such as IVC insertion and intubation; as well as non-technical skills such as communication, leadership and teamwork,
• bring individuals together to train as a team, allowing different disciplines to practice working together to enhance critical elements of effective teamwork such as communication, leadership, situation awareness, managing workloads and resources,
• test new equipment and technologies in a safe environment and train clinicians in their use, and
• discuss lessons identified and give participants time to reflect on outcomes.
