Healthcare Education and Simulation Workshop 2021

Nearly 400 participants joined the Healthcare Education and Simulation Workshop 2021, where the theme was “Simulation-based education: A new paradigm and beyond”. Participants learned how the use of simulation as a training strategy not only can help prevent errors in clinical settings, contribute to patient safety and optimise outcomes of care, it can also promote the professional development of nursing students.

The first day of the workshop took place via an online webinar where nearly 400 participants from 11 countries and regions gained insights from speakers who included Professor Valerie Howard, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs at the School of Nursing, Duke University; Professor Tracy Levett-Jones, Professor of Nursing Education and Head of School of the University of Technology Sydney; Dr Daniel Salcedo, Director of the Centre for Clinical Medical Education of Taipei Municipal Wanfang Hospital and Director for Education in Medical Simulation of Taipei Medical University; Dr Sophia Hu Huey-Lan, Associate Professor from the Department of Nursing of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University; and Dr John Fung Tai chun, Lecturer in the School of Nursing, HKU.

The second day of the workshop was a face-to-face practical simulation workshop hosted by the School’s Quality and Safety Education Subcommittee for local participants to gain hands-on experience of using simulation in nursing teaching. The workshop kicked off with a lecture by Dr Veronica Lam Suk-fun, Senior Lecturer and Chairperson of the School’s Quality and Safety Education Subcommittee. This was followed by participants developing and conducting scenarios, and a debriefing by our teachers. The event provided a fruitful exchange of knowledge in using advanced technology and simulation to facilitate nursing students’ learning experience.
