Overview

The Sim Guide: Allied Health scenarios, templates and tips for simulation based education is a user-friendly resource which provides information on conducting simulation based education in clinical settings. The resource is downloadable and covers information on simulation theory and practical tips for educators.

Simulations

Five allied health specific simulations have been developed with supporting documentation including session plans, PowerPoint slides and briefing notes. Follow the link to access the supporting documentation of the relevant simulation.

• Managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia and delirium
• Medication and falls prevention
• Delivering difficult news to children’s families
• Physiotherapy management of an intubated and ventilated child requiring suctioning
• Radiation safety and communication

These simulations may be adapted to reflect local contexts.
