Patient Simulation
The St George's Advanced Patient Simulator (GAPS) is a new facility at St George's Hospital London, introduced to enhance muti-professional training in patient management. GAPS currently provide patient simulation training using the METI high fidelity Paediatric and Adult patient simulators. GAPS also run mobile simulations using the medium fidelity METI Emergency Care Simulator based in the clinical practice environment under the banner of WOMBATS (ward orientated mannequin based action training & simulation. All simulation training is closely linked with our Patient Safety Training (PST).
GAPS is managed by the Simulator Forum, a panel of Doctors, Nurses, Allied Healthcare Personnel and Patients, leading the development of simulator based training at St George's. Ensuring that this training is developed multi-professionally from the onset, has enabled us to tailor this facility to benefit a wide range of healthcare staff, and develop team working effectiveness, as well as focusing on clinical skills, in a realistic environment.
Based in the Postgraduate Education Center GAPS have developed a range of courses for Hospital Doctors, GP's, Nurses, Allied Disciplines and students, to train in a familiar setting that can be adapted to simulate the operating theatre, recovery, ITU/HDU, A&E or ward setting.
