Regional Simulation and Clinical Skills Networks

Northwestsimulation Network

This site is a resource & a forum for multidisciplinary medical & allied health professionals and educationalists with an active interest in simulation education in the North West of England. This encompasses the spectrum from undergraduate to post graduate, both the deaneries, all the healthcare trusts, the higher educational institutes and the strategic health authority. The aspiration is for ourselves to shape & evolve an educationally rich simulation network across the region, inclusive to all members of the healthcare simulation community. Through the network, a simulation delivery strategy that is based on our best practice & educational governance, supported by educational commissioners and wanted by healthcare organisations can be developed by ourselves, the north west simulation community.
