The Clinical Simulation Centre was honoured to host Trust Chairman Professor Richard Scothon during a recent ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) Simulation Course, a cutting-edge programme designed to prepare healthcare professionals for the complexities of emergency ENT care.
The one-day course, led by seasoned clinicians, focused on enhancing both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills through high-fidelity simulation scenarios.
Participants were immersed in lifelike situations covering:
-
Acute Airway Obstruction
-
Tracheostomy Emergencies
-
Surgical Techniques
-
Major Haemorrhage
Each scenario was crafted to reflect the realities of high-risk, high-pressure clinical environments, encouraging real-time decision-making and collaboration.
Alongside the primary simulations, parallel sessions offered invaluable opportunities to strengthen communication skills and gain familiarity with specialist ENT equipment.
This multi-faceted approach deepened participant understanding and promoted a well-rounded, patient-centred perspective.
The Chairman's visit underscored the vital role simulation plays in modern medical education, reinforcing the Centre’s mission to improve clinical outcomes through innovation and immersive learning.
