Several of our students have successfully completed the PG Cert in Simulation in Clinical practice -Well Done to our first official cohort! Some are going onto complete other modules as part of the MSc in Clinical Education.
The feedback on the course from both students and the external examiner alike was very good.

The Principles and Practice of Simulation module was successfully delivered again from 28th November – 2nd December 2016.
Quantitative and qualitative feedback from the students was extremely positive, matching the overwhelmingly positive feedback from previous iterations of the module in 2014 and 2015. A figure showing the responses (scored on a Likert scale) is shown below, along with some quotes from some of the students.
At the recent HEE KSS Simulation Network meeting the availability of access to ETFT (e-training for trainers) modules was discussed. It is planned to move the ETFT training modules to the e-LfH platform but a date for the move has not yet been confirmed.
In the meantime, the ETFT modules can still be accessed via the following link: http://www.etft.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=139&Itemid=73
Available modules include one on Clinical Simulation, accessible via this link: http://www.etft.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=123&Itemid=182
