What is Simulation?

Clinical simulation training is a bridge between classroom learning and real life clinical experience. Here at the Rotherham Simulation Suite we recreate a wide range of clinical events and provide expert simulation training for professionals and students. In our training sessions, we recreate the general ward, A&E, paediatric, theatre, anaesthetic, and the community environment using our medium fidelity computerised manikins, which perform many realistic human functions. Additionally, our in situation simulation programmes take place in clinical areas such as theatres, A&E, outpatients, medical wards, and critical care.

What does a clinical simulation session involve?

1.       An introduction to clinical simulation training and human factors
2.       Customised aims and objectives
3.       Orientation to the manikin
4.       The clinical simulation scenario
5.       Reflective debrief
6.       Feedback and session evaluation

Our clinical simulation scenarios are delivered by our highly skilled faculty of doctors and nurses and include: anaphylaxis, GI bleed, and hypovolaemic shock. The scenarios are immediately followed by a supported reflective debriefing which allows for the exploration of human factors and individual and team performance.

Mission Statement

To provide human factors, crisis management, and non-technical skills training for all healthcare professional disciplines within the Trust, through the pedagogy of clinical simulation and facilitated debrief. The overall goal is to achieve a high quality standard of care for our patients, within a safe environment where teamwork, communication, open exchange and leadership are paramount.
