PGcert Simulation in Clinical Education: Design, Development and Delivery

Simulation in Clinical Education: Design, Development, and Delivery offer an opportunity to study the principles of experiential learning theory in healthcare simulation, the process of creating simulation scenarios, and the concepts underlying safe and effective debriefing. In addition to theoretical study, the course aims to promote the wider use of simulation modalities, non-technical skills, and human factors in healthcare teaching, learning and practice.

Employability:

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 that can be more easily controlled.

Medicine and nursing are competitive fields and continue to be competitive when progressing to specialist training. It is becoming increasingly important to stand out amongst peers, who will all be high achievers. Having postgraduate qualification answers that need. Clinical Education is one of the most useful courses for postgraduate study; having a teaching element to your portfolio adds weight to a clinician pursuing a career in which some teaching will be expected.
