• Norman Woolley
• Mark Broom
• Gareth Parsons
• Barry Richards

Aims

• Contextualise present day developments within an
  historical context
• Demonstrate two developments in virtual
  simulation
• Provide evaluative evidence from users and
  developers
• Place in context these developments within the
  Facultys simulation strategy

4
Simulation

• It intends to be an immersive experience that
  recreates clinical experience without the
  associated risks involved with making mistakes
  with real patients.

Provide evaluative evidence from users and
developers

• NMC Principles for simulated practice learning in
  pre-registration nursing programmes
• Simulation and Practice Learning
• Project

13
Evaluation principles

• Principle 1. Ensuring partnerships for learning
• Principle 2. Managing practice-focused learning
• Principle 3. Ensuring fitness for practice
• Principle 4. A positive student
• experience
• Principle 5. Enhancing quality

14
Evaluation indicators for Principle 4

• Preparation for the learning experience
• Supportive environment
• Feedback
• Support evidence based practice
• Sufficient time
• Building on previous experience
• Increasing responsibility for learning
• Opportunities to access the simulation
• Choose to access outside of scheduled sessions

Evaluative questionnaire examples
16
Evaluation results

• Were prepared (n 62)
• Would have liked more practice (72)
• Useful approach to learning (62)
• Based on sound evidence (86)
• Time to undertake simulation (74)
• Application of theory to practice (61)
• Appropriate way of learning (66)

17
Evaluation results

• Too hard or too easy (60)
• Isolation (63)
• Difficult to access off campus (64)

Did this experience make you think about the
admissions procedure?

• The importance of the GP letter
• Being prepared for the admission / admission
  procedure
• Information for patients
• Assessing and admitting the child

20
What do you think may be the advantages of using
computer simulations to teach this subject?

• Pace of study
• Developing knowledge
• Helping with clinical practice
• Preparation for similar situations

21
What do you think may be the disadvantages of
using computer simulations to teach this subject?

• Not real life
• Technical restrictions
