“ Being proficient in a range of clinical skills is a fundamental requirement of nursing and medical practice. Simulation enables students to learn the required skills in a realistic but safe environment so that they are confident and competent when required to perform the skills on patients in a clinical environment.

During the clinical skills day, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in a range of activities, using state of the art, high fidelity simulation equipment and will learn some of the skills taught to nursing and medical students.�

Awareness of personal wellbeing and health will form an important component of the programme. Why is wellness important? Wellness is important because if we want to function successfully in the world we need to be well.

If we want to achieve goals, we all need good physical, mental, nutritional, medicinal and social health to be well maintained because if any one is neglected, the others suffer too. The bigger picture, the whole picture, for anyone who has ever watched ‘House’, is always important!
