What is a simulated placement?
The Simulated placement involves simulated environments, human patient simulation and role play, enabling multiple learning objectives to be taught in a realistic clinical environment. It allows students to learn various skills and knowledge in different mock scenarios without intimidating students and being harmful to patients
Simulated scenarios aren't new for paramedics, so there will be some aspects that you may have already been exposed to.
''Emerging evidence supports the use of simulation as a valid, partial substitution for traditional placement in undergraduate physiotherapy and nursing education''

How to prepare
Wear uniform and be professional at all times.
Be ready to engage, come ready learn, discuss, and share feedback.
Have an open mind
Have a read around the following:
Anatomy and physiology
Trauma management
Primary survey
Airways, difficult airways
Rapid evacuation to hospital
Splinting
What to expect
What to expect
Scenarios varies across the week (consolidated simulation)
Clinical and intervention difficulties increase as the year progresses.
Types of scenarios:
Real-life scenarios (around the university, streets, areas around the university); to mimic a real life situation
Airway-course (basic airway manoeuvres, familiarisation with advanced manoeuvres; intubation, etc.)
