Welcome to the Cambridge Simulation Centre
About Us
The Cambridge Simulation centre is based at Cambridge University Hospital Trust, Addenbrooke's Hospital.
​
It is a state of the art facility providing highly effective simulation based training .
​
The Centre allows multi-disciplinary learning on manikins and part-task trainers that simulate a wide range of very realistic medical scenarios.
​
Our aim is to improve patient safety through teaching and training, with research methods being developed to provide us with tools to reduce clinical error.
Scenarios are written, programmed, and designed specifically to meet the needs of each group of attendees depending on their level of experience. This enables each participant to rehearse relevant procedures, both simple and complex, and have exposure to rare events.
​
The Simulation Centre is an essential and popular educational resource.
The state-of-the-art facilities provide a realistic clinical environment where you can practice necessary skills under expert supervision.
