Simulation-based education plays a critical role in improving patient safety and clinical outcomes, allowing staff to practice high-risk scenarios in a safe environment before the real thing 👏

The Simulation Faculty at TPCH run high-fidelity simulations, scenario-based training, and skill stations to support both clinical competence and teamwork.

Through simulation, teams can refine their communication, decision-making, and clinical skills, directly enhancing the quality of care delivered at the bedside.

Nurse Manager Shini, here with Clinical Nurse Simulation Coordinator Kim, talks about the importance of testing new clinical spaces before they go live.

"At TPCH, we are utilising advanced simulation technologies such as manikins that mimic real human responses, and immersive team-based simulations to build capacity in high-pressure clinical areas," Shimi says.

"These innovations reflect a global trend toward using simulation not only for individual training but also for system improvement."

If you are interested in working in the Simulation space with this great team, check out the vacancy via smart jobs, closing 30 June.

When it comes to protecting our hospital communities from infections, they don't come more committed than flu fighter Sally! 🙌

A Clinical Nurse of more than 20 years at TPCH, Sally and the team have been working hard to get ready for flu season.

"We have already seen high numbers of flu cases among our patients and the wider community this year," Sally said.

With South East Queensland now in the midst of the winter chill, Sally is encouraging patients, staff, volunteers and visitors to get vaccinated.

"Vaccination is a simple, effective way to avoid the flu this winter and protect the most vulnerable in our community, and it's completely free for all Queenslanders," she said.
