Updates on the use of Simulation Based Medical Education within this Speciality

Examples of some of the uses for simulation in Medical Education

• Education – from Undergraduate to Consultant level Simulation can be used in a variety of ways to teach both technical and non-technical skills.
• Exams – Simulation is already being used for the PLAB exams and some of the anaesthetics exams. Likely to see this increasing in more areas in the future.
• Quality improvement – eg UHNT are using simulation to trial out new ways of organising the paediatric resuscitation department
• Patient Safety – eg UHNT are using simulation to improve Non-invasive ventilation delivery
• Patient and Parental Education
• Assessment – Simulation can be used for cases we see infrequently eg burns, anaphylaxis etc where it may be difficult for trainees to be observed managing a real-life case
• Innovation and research
