Simulation & Practice Learning Project

Conclusions of the NMC Study:
"The findings are overwhelmingly positive and suggest strongly that simulated learning: helps students to acheive clinical learning outcomes, provides students with learning opportunities which are not possible in the clinical setting, and helps to increase students confidence in approaching clinical situations."
Simulation allows the attention and focus to sift away from the patient, to the nursing student and their learning.

"The latest development enables universities to use up to 300 hours previously set aside for learning with patients, to learn instead in a safe simulated practice learning environment, where mistakes can be made without risk of causing harm to patients."
