Welcome to the Simulation & Technology-enhanced Learning Initiative website
London Deanery's and NHS London's Simulation and Technology-enhanced Learning Initiative (STeLI) is an award winning flagship project of the 'Excellence in Education' strategy.
STeLI promotes the use of powerful educational technologies, such as simulation and e-learning, to enrich the delivery of healthcare professional workforce training therefore supporting high quality service delivery.
As well as repetitive practice of clinical skills within a patient safe envioronment, these technologies enable the development of professional capabilities such as crisis resource management, effective communication, team working, leadership and followership and an awareness of the impact of Human Factors on patient safety.

Full Immersion Environments

-
Simulation Patients

Ward-based training

-
Advanced Feedback

-
Skills Learning
slideshow/big_images/MAS-055.jpgPart-task simulators enable trainees to repetitively practice complex and rare clinical scenarios in a patient safe environment before encountering them for the first time in clinical practice.
-
Research and Development
slideshow/big_images/blood-spurt.jpgSTeLI is supporting and commissioning research projects that underpin the academic foundations of simulation-based training in healthcare and develop new advanced simulators.
-
Training integration
slideshow/big_images/Picture-283.jpgSTeLI has supported development of both generic and specialty specific training resources that highlight the importance of Human Factors and their impact on Patient Safety. It also supports the London Deanery Specialty Schools to integrate simulation-based training into the curriculum.

Patient-Safety
slideshow/big_images/IMG_1818.jpgSimulation-based training takes the steeper and most dangerous part of the learning curve away from patients, enables deeper insight from trainees and supports the development of a highly-skilled healthcare workforce.
