Clinical Simulation Centre
The Clinical Simulation Centre provides a simulated, yet close to lifelike environment, featuring original hospital equipment, ideal to reproduce “real” hospital situations.
A full range visual teaching aids and replicas as well as audio-visual equipment, provides the instructors with the means of an interactive teaching approach.
Practical instruction in the Clinical Simulation Centre is giving the nursing students the first chance to put theoretical knowledge, acquired in a clinical subject, into a practical context.
The students can practice, hands-on in a safe environment, skills that are essential for their clinical practice in health care facilities.
But practical skills do not only encompass clinical skills. Nurses nowadays are required to be computer whiz kids and the Clinical Simulation Centre caters for exactly this. Four computer workstations with full library and Internet access enable to students to store information on databases, draw information quick and easy from a multitude of sources and supplement learning with web-based quizzes and teaching software.
A simulation handbook guides the students throughout their three-year course through their simulation program. This handbook delivers information, prompts research, explains underpinning theory and acts as a self-directed learning guide including self-assessment suggestions.
The Technical Officer offers additional supervised practice time for students to revisit and reinforce their skills on an appointment only basis throughout the academic year.
