“Welcome to Simulation. This experience is aimed at providing a safe, non-judgemental learning environment where you have the opportunity to practice clinical skills on a simulated patient (or Sim Man), before being faced with a real-life scenario. This is NOT a test!

We expect you to only undertake roles that you would perform in the clinical environment, and ask for help/escalate care appropriately. Thank you to the various specialties who have agreed to take part in this scenario.

The scenario will be run ‘real-time’, as if it were real-life. (For example, apply monitoring as usual, prescribe and ask for equipment). Any specialist equipment will be provided by the Education Team if requested.

We aim to run the scenario for approximately 30 minutes, followed by a detailed debrief session for another 30 minutes.

We would like: active participation from all candidates, honest verbal feedback about the team’s performance within the Simulation and written feedback about the Education Team running the scenario.

You will receive: immediate verbal feedback, assessments including a Mini-CEX, DOPS or log books signed (if requested) and a personalised certificate of attendance.”
