We are an education and training facility committed to improving workforce learning and patient safety outcomes by delivering innovative simulation-based courses and programs.
These courses are targeted towards improving patient care and reducing clinical risk.
What we offer
We value inter-professional learning and strive to recreate life-like clinical scenarios where clinicians can be challenged, stimulated and supported to learn commonly performed skills and procedures, manage acutely ill and deteriorating patients and develop the non-technical and teamwork skills required to improve patient safety, within a risk-free environment.
Paramount is providing an environment for simulation-based education encompassing a range of modalities, which supports clinicians in improving skills and knowledge, while facilitating safe, high-quality person-centred care.
