Facilitator: Tess Vawser and Tom Hallahan

Organisation: Epworth HealthCare Victoria

Audience: All those working in simulation

The target audience for this interactive workshop is novice participants involved to planning and executing simulation programs - optimal experience level would be 0-2 years’ experience in simulation education.  

The workshop will provide participants with a variety of templates and hands - on practice in planning and facilitating simulation programs specific to their environment.

At the completion of this workshop it is intended that the participants will have:

• Been exposed to and developed an understanding of the range of policies and processes required to facilitate a simulation program
• Been exposed to a variety of templates that can be adapted to various settings
• Developed policies or processes specific to their individual program requirements
• Designed and implemented a simulation scenario.
