Simulation Training
SIMULATION TRAINING
All Foundation Doctors based at trusts across LaSE (incorporating London or KSS) have access to simulation training.
As of August 2017, it is now mandatory for both FY1 and FY2 doctors to undertake a full day or two half day simulation training sessions.
Please contact your local Medical Education Manager/Foundation Programme Administrator for further details about local arrangements.
SIMULATION RESOURCES FOR FOUNDATION DOCTORS
Clinical Simulation Scenarios
Health Education England has developed a 'Clinical Simulation Scenarios' library, including 17 detailed scenarios for foundation doctors. Scenarios include links to areas of the curriculum and provide clear instructions for faculty and 'in-scenario personnel' to follow. Scenarios have been designed in order to focus on aspects of clinical care that are often challenging for clinicians, for example, difficult conversations, clinical emergencies and technical skills.
