First in Hong Kong to Use Baby and Child
High-fidelity Simulators for Nursing Teaching

The School has long been a pioneer in adopting innovative technology to enable students to apply clinical knowledge in practical ways. We were the first institute in Hong Kong to use baby simulation, for example, and now we are the first to introduce high-fidelity simulator models of infant and paediatric patients in nursing education.

High-fidelity simulation has been proven to improve students’ clinical competence, satisfaction and self-confidence in a safe and controlled setting. The advanced functions of a high-fidelity paediatric simulator can further enhance students’ empathy and facilitate them to get immersed in the scenario. Children or babies suffering from medical conditions can be in a very critical state and these simulators can give students first-hand experience in assessing and managing common urgent conditions. During pandemic times when a practicum is not possible, high-fidelity simulation becomes a necessity in nursing education. Our students have started using these new simulators in their classes.
