    Clinical Simulation Facilitation

    Scottish Centre for Simulation

    Since completing the Scottish Simulation Centre course in facilitation in 2011, and hosting a visit from the mobile skills unit in the same year, I have developed my skills in providing clinical simulation with low- and mid-fidelity technology. Latterly, we have benefited from Sandpiper Trust funding to provide mid-fidelity simulators on Arran, and we have been using these in both our GP practice and community hospital context to provide training on cardiac arrest and peri-arrest scenarios.
