Human Factors in Advanced Patient Simulators - Instructor Programme

The latest generation of advanced high fidelity patient simulators allow highly realistic patient simulation training for the practise of team resource management skills.

Simulation in high risk complex environments is invaluable for the maintenance of proficiency and the acquisition of new skills.

In the aviation environment high fidelity aircraft simulators have been in universal use for many years, and the industry has unrivalled experience in the use of simulation.

The use of simulation is now rapidly increasing for healthcare professionals, particularly in anaesthesia and surgery, driven by the availability of high fidelity patient simulators which provide a highly realistic training experience.

Medical simulation may be used to develop technical skills but also the value of advanced patient simulation in the training of team resource management skills is now widely recognised, allowing teams to practise relevant behaviour in a setting which poses no threat to their professional standing.
