Safer health care through training and research excellence in the field of simulation.

The HNE Simulation Centre is an interprofessional, multi-disciplinary, educational facility within Hunter New England Local Health District. We deliver simulation-based training that addresses clinical and non-clinical challenges, to more than 4000 participants each year. The centre is supported by a team of specialist doctors and senior nurses who are certified simulation instructors and clinically active in the specialty areas of anaesthesia, intensive care (adult, paediatric and neonatal) and emergency medicine. Research:
Our multidisciplinary faculty have a track record in innovation and research. We conduct human factors research that aims to improve patient safety by developing new tools and guidelines to use in clinical practice, particularly in emergency situations, and testing new processes and equipment prior to their implementation into clinical practice. We use in situ simulation as a research and quality improvement tool to analyse equipment and environments at the design and pre-commissioning stages, and to identify latent safety threats in existing spaces. We are interested in resilient health care and understanding how expertise contributes to the capacity of a system to respond to challenges. We also conduct research into why and how simulation works as a teaching tool and are particularly interested in understanding which elements of a clinical encounter should be retained in a simulated encounter. Support for Simulation:
The centre also provides support for simulation-based training including instructor and faculty development, curriculum development and evaluation, and advice regarding the establishment and running of simulation centres.

Our instructors see real value in giving medical students the chance to experience lifelike scenarios in a simulation environment before they encounter them in clinical practice.

The students had the opportunity to practise 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀, work through the principles of 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and recognise the early signs of a 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁.

They also worked through scenarios where communication, teamwork and remaining calm under pressure are vital.

🚨 𝗘𝗗 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿

Our HNE Simulation Centre team took our simulation expertise to Gloucester Hospital, working alongside local ED clinicians to deliver the ED EMET Simulation Course.

Through realistic emergency department scenarios, local clinicians had the opportunity to practise clinical decision-making, communication and teamwork in a safe environment, with scenarios reflecting the challenges of emergency care.

Taking simulation education to regional and rural teams is an important part of making this type of training accessible to clinicians where they work — bringing the expertise, equipment and scenarios to the local team.

🙌 Thank you to the Gloucester team for their engagement and enthusiasm throughout the day.

Local clinicians worked through hands-on 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀 designed around their team, their equipment and their rural setting — putting a systematic approach to recognising and stabilising adult trauma patients into practice.

And the feedback says it all:

💬 “Relevant scenarios for rural hospitals”
💬 “This course is suitable for all clinicians”
💬 “Competent, kind instructors”

Thanks to everyone who took part, and to Glencore and the 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 for their consistent support of this important training.
