Course summary Simulation is becoming increasingly prevalent as a tool for teaching and learning in healthcare because it provides a safe environment in which students can develop clinical skills and non-technical skills via guided debriefing.

Applicants who have passed the GIC / Education for Clinical Instructors in Life Support Teaching start in February In exceptional circumstances it is possible to start the course in February 2024. Please contact the Programme Director if you wish to explore this option: Healthcare professionals wishing to be in a position to provide supervision and instruction in either a hospital or GP practice setting will need to complete a relevant postgraduate qualification, in addition to their undergraduate degree, and this will increasingly be undertaken in their ‘training years’. Simulation is an expanding field where students may gain experience in a non-threatening environment without involving patients. Following the COVID-19 pandemic it is likely that more teaching will be undertaken in a simulated environment which can be more easily controlled.
