Simulation and Patient Safety Programme

Patient Safety

The Simulation and Patient Safety programme aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to understand the complex role of human and organisational factors which relate to patient safety.
 
Simulation is emerging as an innovative way to train practitioners and improve patient safety.  Evidence supports the use of good quality simulation to improve patient outcomes and many opportunities exist for evaluating innovative educational techniques and research into the development of simulation strategies. Recent national reports have emphasised the need for; widened access to simulation training, the use of simulation for accelerated learning and the importance of training person-level and system-level human factors to NHS personnel.

This inter-professional course is designed for healthcare professionals who aim to be leaders in patient safety and simulation training in their institutions.

Graduates of the programme will attain the skills required to implement simulation effectively into educational programmes and develop and evaluate evidence based patient safety strategies in their organisations. Details of this programme are described here:

Remote Healthcare

Remote-Healthcare

The Remote Healthcare programme was originally developed for the international medical polar community (British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit – BASMU) with increasing interest in recent years from the Military and other areas where it is essential to have clinicians trained to meet the unique challenges and emergencies that arise in diverse and remote environments that are removed from definitive clinical practice.  Those with an interest in expedition and exploration medicine, in addition to clinicians working in normal healthcare practice in a variety of isolated and remote environments, and clinicians who are deployed in the British Forces will also benefit from the wider curriculum.
 
The programme aims to develop practitioners with advanced knowledge, skills and understanding of current issues influencing the organisation, delivery and leadership of remote healthcare and the challenges of expedition planning, and the use of remote information sources such as telemedicine, to equip them with the advanced skills necessary to critically analyse and synthesise a range of information in order to make safe and effective decisions in complex, unpredictable and remote situations.
