Complete Details

This premier regional event brings together healthcare educators, technicians, and clinicians from across the North East of England to discuss the evolving landscape of simulated practice. In an era where patient safety is paramount, this symposium focuses on the integration of high-fidelity simulation within the NHS curriculum. Delegates will engage in critical discussions regarding the "human factors" in clinical practice, exploring how immersive environments can reduce medical errors and improve multidisciplinary communication. The day features a blend of keynote presentations from national ASPiH representatives and hands-on breakout sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to work with the latest manikins and VR surgical simulators, gaining practical experience in scenario design and debriefing techniques. The event also serves as a platform for local research, allowing practitioners to present posters on their latest findings in simulation-based education (SBE). By fostering a collaborative environment, the symposium aims to standardize simulation protocols across regional trusts, ensuring that every learner receives high-quality, consistent training. Whether you are a simulation novice or an expert technologist, this gathering provides the networking and professional development necessary to drive excellence in healthcare simulation.
