Welcome to
Simulation in Irish Medical Education
Where we are, and where are we going?
2. Administration
• The clamping people have no sense of humour (nor morality)
so make sure you have parked somewhere ‘legal’ and have
the voucher displayed.
• You can pick-up a CPD certificate at the desk from lunchtime
onwards.
• You might want to consider moving forward if you are sitting
at the back of the theatre.

3. Introduction
• Medicine has long faced a conflict between the imperative to
give patients the best possible care and the needs to provide
novices with experience (Gawande, 2003).
• It is no longer acceptable for students at any level of training
to practice new skills on patients, even if they have a patient’s
explicit consent (Aggarwal & Darzi, 2006).

4. Seminar Goals
• Provide an overview of medical simulation in Ireland in order
to make better use of the assets that are available.
• Allow people who are experienced in the use of simulation to
share their knowledge and expertise.
• Provide hands on experience of different simulation tools and
devices.
• Consider what should be done next to facilitate the use of
simulation for education and research in Ireland.

7. Aggarwal & Darzi (2011)
• In order for simulation to become a part of the medical
curriculum, collaborative efforts are required from academics,
physicians, managers, and policy makers alike.
• Bringing these groups together, while a challenge, can lead to
high-level outputs in medical care, which will benefit all.
• Perhaps this seminar can serve as a beginning of this
collaboration within an Irish and international context.
