The Anaesthetists as Educators programme, Simulation Unplugged has been designed for those interested in developing their knowledge and skills in simulation. The course debunks simulation myths and gets back to the essentials of what you and your learners need.

This course is suitable for all anaesthetists interested in delivering simulation-based teaching and learning in their own workplace.

A faculty of simulation experts from across the UK have invested their time and energy to ensure this one-day programme is the best it can be. You will leave the course energised, with new perspectives on simulation-based education and with lots of practical ideas that will help you when you get back to your workplace.

The course debunks simulation myths and gets back to the nuts and bolts of what you and your learners need.

Topics covered:

  • application of educational theory to simulation practice
  • spectrum and scope of simulation
  • range and appropriate level of fidelity
  • techniques and requirements for effective simulation
  • resources required for a successful simulation project.

Suitable for all anaesthetists with an interest in simulation. Please note: pre-course reading / task will be required to be completed prior to attending this course.
