Simulation Faculty Development: Simulation Essentials

Course Description

Simulation Faculty Development: Simulation Essentials is designed to enhance healthcare workers’ ability to deliver safe and effective, simulation-based, paediatric education. Participants will develop knowledge and skills in the development and implementation of simulation with a paediatric focus, that is effective for staff education, assists with validating research, enhances patient safety and mitigates risks in paediatric healthcare.

The program has 2 main components: check points and self-directed modules (SDM). Self-directed modules explore Simulation Theory, Scenario Design, and an Introduction to debriefing. Check points are face to face time with your Simulation Coordinator and other experienced faculty. The Simulation Essentials program will guide you in creating, delivering, and debriefing a simulation scenario with support from Kids Simulation Australia faculty.

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