London NHS Trust Simulation Centres

Barts and The London Medical Simulation Centre - The Barts and The London Medical Simulation Centre uses a realistic dummy, which can replicate a range of medical conditions. Actors can be used to play patient and staff roles in an 'operating theatre', 'anaesthetic room', 'ITU', 'A&E' and 'ward' based settings. The simulation can be video recorded so that the candidates can view and comment on their performance. Following this, a facilitated de-briefing session allows candidates the opportunity to learn through reflection, mutual support and shared skills.

Chelsea and Westminster Centre for Clinical Practice - the hub of multi-disciplinary clinical education and training at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital offering clinical skills, simulation and resuscitation.

Croydon Health Services (formerly Mayday) - the Clinical Skills Simulation Centre is a multi-disciplinary centre for all healthcare teams across the NHS.

The Homerton - patient simulators are used in healthcare education to create safe and realistic learning environments.  The centre manages realistic scenarios without the risk of causing harm to patients, simulates everyday situations, recreates untoward incidents to be learnt from and allows participants to experience scenarios that do not occur frequently in practice.

Imperial College London - The Simulation Room is set up to provide the most realistic environment possible without involving real patients.

King's College Hospital - Clinical staff can hone their medical and surigcal skills in the safe, controlled environment of King's dedicated simulation training facility, including state of the art patient simulator, patient monitoring equipment and surgical equipment, such as a laparoscopic robot.

Newham University Hospital - The new Clinical Skills and Simulation suite is used to provide essential patient safety training in non-technical skills for doctors, nurses and medical and nursing students. 

Royal Brompton and Harefield - the SPRinT (simulated paediatric resuscitation team training) group uses simulation to provide teams with strategic crisis training and insight into human factors which influence pesonal performance at the Royal Bromton.  Whilst at Harefield Hospital the new STaR (Simulation, Training and Resource) Centre delivers courses that reflect the hospital's reputation for cardiothoracic and transplantation medicine and surgery.

Royal Free Medical Simulation Centre - A state of the art Medical Simulation Centre following a susbtantial donation from the Paul Shrank chairty fund and STeLI.  The new centre is a friendly, open access centre of excellence able to serve healthcare professionals by offering easy access to high fidelity simulators within the surgical and medical field.

St George's Advanced Patient Simulator -  a new facility introduced to enhance multi-professional training in patient management using high fidelity adult and paediatric patient simulators.

UCH Education Centre - The Education Centre's premium facilities provide opportunities for Healthcare Professionals at every level to learn, enhance and optimise their clinical skills and medical knowledge through experiential learning

Whipps Cross - the Clinical Skills Department incorporates a simulation suite and a communication skill suites, including a simulated ward environment.

The Whittington - state of the art education facility that blends innovative education with technological advances in clinical simulation. The centre provides surgeons, doctors, nurses and midwives the opportunity to practice difficult or risky procedures on 'living and breathing' mannequins before trying them out on real patients.
