Course description
The global objectives of these workshops which will run concurrently for 2 different groups of participants are to provide a sound overview to participants of two key simulation domains, namely how to develop a simulation centre and/or simulation programme, and the fundamentals of becoming a scenario-based simulation facilitator/educator. Although both of these workshops have different themes they will be highly relevant to the daily practice of Emergency Medicine, irrespective of the level of simulation expertise the participants have.
Learning objectives
- 1. To analyse the key stages of designing a simulation centre or preparing a clinical area for in-situ simulation training.
- 2. To explore solutions commonly adopted in simulation centres worldwide in terms of layout, configuration, storage, technology.
- 3. To discuss operational aspects of a clinical simulation centre from an equipment point of view.
- 4. To look at the operational aspects of a clinical simulation centre with regards to staffing and skills mix requirements.
- 5. To analyse funding and financing of a clinical simulation programme or facility.
