Description
Book SynopsisHealthcare Simulation at a Glance presents an accessible overview of everything you need to know about simulation in clinical practice and healthcare education. From embedding simulation in programmes, to technical and non-technical features of simulation in a variety of contexts, to how simulation can be used in assessment and the provision of feedback to healthcare professionals, this practical guide is the perfect resource for developing the skills and knowledge required as both a student and an educator. Healthcare Simulation at a Glance: Introduces the concepts and theories underpinning simulation practiceProvides an understanding of the key terms and processes involvedIncludes a range of examples and tips for easy application in practice Healthcare Simulation at a Glanceis ideal for both those new to using simulation in education, as well as experienced academics.
Trade Review"This is a very readable book in a format that is reader friendly. The contributing authors are international practitioners from anaesthesia, emergency medicine, health care education and simulation practice. The book is intended for a wide readership to include all healthcare practitioners and technical and support staff....
