The Montagu Clinical Simulation Centre, based at Montagu Hospital, is crucial in improving patient safety within healthcare settings by providing health professionals the opportunity to practice and refine their skills in conditions designed to replicate real-life scenarios. The simulator allows teams to rehearse emergency events rarely seen in everyday practice, creating a safe space to evaluate responses, learn from problems and put theory into practice.
Since opening in March 2003, Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH), Montagu Hospital Simulation Centre has been a valuable resource for healthcare professionals throughout the region, providing a safe and controlled environment for effective training and education.
The variety of courses facilitated by the Education Team at the Centre enable healthcare professionals in all roles to develop their clinical expertise, build confidence, and enhance their teamwork and communication skills, all of which are vital for delivering high-quality care.
A breadth of training courses that the Centre at Montagu Hospital provide include communication skills in palliative care, acute medical emergencies, Consequences of infectious diseases (HCID) and foundation in obstetric anaesthesia. As part of the NHS’ national education goals and initiatives, the Centre also runs courses for medical students on their longitudinal integrated clinical placements and for doctors returning to practice after an absence such as secondment or maternity leave.
The centre currently offers two courses externally outside the region. You can find out more about these courses and how to book by clicking the course titles below.
