Simulation

All trainees within the KSS training programme will be expected to attend at least 1 simulation day per year. These will be at 4 centres across the Deanery, St. Peter’s, Brighton, Medway and St. Richards, and it is expected that doctors from all grades across the training programme will attend.

There will be scenarios and role playing exercises and each centre will have a simulation lead. It is also expected that there will be some standardisation of the scenarios, so that there will be no obvious difference in the quality of training at different sites, as they will all be using the latest up to date mannequins and equipment.

Role playing and simulation has been shown to be very useful in preparing doctors for difficult, challenging or life threatening scenarios, but yet in an atmosphere of safety. It is expected that these simulation days will go well beyond that of basic resuscitation that is provided on the NLS and APLS/EPLS courses.

Dr Bim Badhuri has been appointed as the simulation lead for the School of Paediatrics.
