This course is for:

SCHN (Sydney Children's Hospitals Network) staff who are interested in using simulation for investigating, testing, and training to improve patient safety.

Learning content

The Simulation Essentials program will guide you in creating, delivering, and debriefing a simulation scenario with support from Kids Simulation Australia faculty. 

There are 2 main learning activities:

1. Check points are face to face time with your Simulation Coordinator and other experienced faculty.
2. Self-directed modules explore simulation theory, scenario design, and an Introduction to debriefing.

Content provided includes:

• subject video presentations or lectures
• relevant literature
• reflective practice opportunities to enable you to identify areas of development at your next check point. 

Learning objectives

• Develop knowledge of the scope of simulation in testing, investigating, and training to improve patient outcomes in a paediatric setting.
• Comprehend the process for development and implementation of simulation-based programs in the paediatric context.
