About us
Mission
We aspire to enhance patient safety through the provision of innovative, interactive, evidenced based and transformative educational experiences.
Vision
To be a leading skills/simulation centre with national and international impact and to pursue excellence in the provision of simulation-based teaching, learning and research.
About The Centre
The School of Nursing and Midwifery Clinical Simulation Suite was officially launched on the 25th March 2013 by Professor Geraldine McCarthy, Emeritus Professor and former head of School. Each location is equipped with an extensive range of information technology and audio-visual equipment, thus equipped as one would expect to see in an acute hospital. Students are able to practice a variety of skills, including clinical assessments, medication administration, and communication with patients, see below for the virtual tour of our simulation suite which consists of three high-fidelity simulation rooms which replicate a standard hospital high dependency unit environment.
The facility can be transformed to represent various locations of a hospital environment, equipped with an impressive array of high fidelity adult and child mannequins students can engage here in realistic clinical scenarios without risk to patients. In this way they can be prepared to manage any number of acute clinical events they may encounter. This facility adds to the extensive existing clinical skills facilities within the school and was one of the first School of Nursing and Midwifery in Ireland to develop simulation facilities of this nature
Simulation Suite
The suite consists of three high-fidelity simulation rooms which replicate a standard hospital high dependency unit environment. Each location is equipped with an extensive range of information technology and audio-visual equipment. Students from all programmes benefit from engaging with the simulation suite and often comment on how realistic it is.
