Defining Simulationg Simulation is a technique - not a technology – to amplify experiences that evoke or replicate amplify experiences that evoke or replicate substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner.

The Power of High Fidelity Simulation

NMC Pilot Background • Nursing and Midwifery Council

• regulator for 682,000 nurses and midwives in UK

• Commissioned Simulation and Practice • Commissioned Simulation and Practice Based Learning Project in 2006

• 13 pilot sites selected to capture a wide ange of app oaches to sim lation range of approaches to simulation

focussed learning within pre-reg. nursing only

NMC Pilot

• Aimed to identify what is required to ensure that simulation can develop skills as safely as practice experience

• Potential Outcome: Changes in the proportion of time learners need to p p spend in practice during their course

NMC Pilot

• Study population approx. 1000 learners Sept – Dec 06

• On average 6 days of clinical practice g y p replaced by simulation based learning.g

• Most learners participated in 6 simulation scenarios.simulation scenarios.

OutcomeOutcome

Th i ifi h i UK • The most significant change in UK nurse education in the past 15 years

• Up to 300 hours of the 2300 hours • Up to 300 hours of the 2300 hours practice component to provide clinical training within a simulated practice learning environment in support of providing direct care in the practice setting (NMC Circular 36/2007)setting. (NMC Circular 36/2007)

• For us, rarely has emphasis on one field of , y p educational innovation, led to such a transformative effect.

• More situated learning on campus • More effective module design • Increased student progression • Increased external fundingg • Increased R&D opportunities
