Writing and delivering simulation scenarios
About this programme
Purpose: These resources aim to support the development of knowledge and skills of health and social care staff to design and deliver low fidelity simulation scenarios in their practice setting. The resources provide introductory and practical guidance about writing simulation scenarios. They also guide the preparation, delivery and debrief processes for running effective simulated scenarios.
The Clinical Skills managed Education Network (CSMEN) simulation scenario template is shared to enable a consistent and quality approach.
Developers: This is a collaborative resource between CSMEN, Public Services Delivery Scotland NMAHP and Pharmacy Directorates, University of Aberdeen, University of Glasgow, NHS Lothian and Scottish Centre for Simulation and Clinical Human Factors.
Audience: These resources have been designed for a multi-professional audience across health and social care including:
- Faculty who are new to the role, or had a break in writing or delivery of simulation
- Facilitators or educators in the practice setting
- Practice development roles
- Practitioners
- Anyone with an interest in using simulation-based learning to support clinical skills development.
