Clinical Simulation Training

NHS South Central is striving to develop innovative educational and training solutions which enable us to respond to the changing needs of the health economy and ensure our workforce are highly competent and fit for purpose.

Clinical simulation training is increasingly used to introduce clinicians to new operative and interpersonal skills and techniques to help keep them up to date, or to assess competence, and hence demonstrate fitness to practice. As part of the SHA's vision, we are aiming to develop an integrated approach to clinical simulation training, which:

• builds on the expertise already available in the region
• encourages a multi-professional approach to learning and development
• uses research methodologies to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation training
• provides funding to support the training requirements for Trusts and PCTs.

Our target audience is primarily junior doctors in training, dentists in training, nurses, midwives and AHPs.
