Healthcare simulation education is a bridge between class-room learning and real-life experience. There has been a lack of education and training in how simulation can be used to educate healthcare practitioners or be incorporated into existing educational programmes. The main goal of these postgraduate qualifications in Medical and Healthcare Simulation is to prepare the student to design and deliver effective healthcare simulation education. Modules are sequential and delivered in eight-week blocks of instruction.
Completed by Master’s/PDip/PgCert students
• Module 1. An introduction to simulation and training in healthcare
• Module 2. Simulation with manikin and task-based trainers
• Module 3. Standardised patients, virtual patients and hybrid simulation
Completed by Master’s/PDip students only
• Module 4. Running an effective simulation-based programme
• Module 5. Human factors and patient safety in simulation
• Module 6.
Uses of medical and healthcare simulation beyond education Completed by Master’s students only
• Module 7. Research Methods for Medical and Healthcare Simulation
• Module 8. Research thesis

| Careers or Further Progression |
Career opportunities
In the last decade, there have been big changes in undergraduate healthcare education, postgraduate healthcare education, delivery of healthcare and the working environment. These changes have led to a large investment in simulation centres nationally and internationally. Graduates of this programme will have the expertise required to deliver simulation-based education in undergraduate and postgraduate healthcare teaching environments. |
