HNE Simulation Centre

HNE Simulation Centre Safer health care through training and research excellence in the field of simulation.

The HNE Simulation Centre is an interprofessional, multi-disciplinary, educational facility within Hunter New England Local Health District. We deliver simulation-based training that addresses clinical and non-clinical challenges, to more than 4000 participants each year. The centre is supported by a team of specialist doctors and senior nurses who are certified simulation instructors and clinical

ly active in the specialty areas of anaesthesia, intensive care (adult, paediatric and neonatal) and emergency medicine. Research:
Our multidisciplinary faculty have a track record in innovation and research. We conduct human factors research that aims to improve patient safety by developing new tools and guidelines to use in clinical practice, particularly in emergency situations, and testing new processes and equipment prior to their implementation into clinical practice. We use in situ simulation as a research and quality improvement tool to analyse equipment and environments at the design and pre-commissioning stages, and to identify latent safety threats in existing spaces. We are interested in resilient health care and understanding how expertise contributes to the capacity of a system to respond to challenges. We also conduct research into why and how simulation works as a teaching tool and are particularly interested in understanding which elements of a clinical encounter should be retained in a simulated encounter. Support for Simulation:
The centre also provides support for simulation-based training including instructor and faculty development, curriculum development and evaluation, and advice regarding the establishment and running of simulation centres.

Last week, our simulation team packed up mannequins, clinical and simulation equipment and headed to Gunnedah for two days of hands-on clinical simulation training.

Part of the team hit the road with a van full of simulation gear, while the rest of the team took to the skies with the incredible support of Angel Flight Australia

Once we arrived, the van was unpacked, the simulation environment was set up, and participants got straight into it โ€” working through realistic scenarios, making decisions under pressure, communicating as a team, then coming together to reflect and learn.

The course is designed for clinicians who may encounter paediatric patients, but for whom paediatrics is not their core role.

Last week, we delivered our Secondary Retrieval Course, giving Hunter New England Local Health District inter-professional teams the opportunity to rehearse the management of critically ill patients requiring retrieval to another hospital.

Clinicians worked through realistic scenarios, clinical assessment, team roles, communication and coordination โ€” using the equipment and supplies carried on a Stryker retrieval stretcher, just as they would during a real retrieval.

A great day of practical, team-based learning๐Ÿ‘

The day focused on developing a systematic approach to the early recognition and stabilisation of adult trauma patients, with scenarios tailored to the local team, available equipment, and environment.

Participant feedback highlighted the value of the hands-on, scenario-based approach:
