With support from the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation, the RCH Simulation Centre now has an advanced technology platform enabling not only enhanced learning but also increased opportunity for simulation-based projects and research. Please contact the RCH Simulation Team at Simulation@rch.org.au if you are interested in discussing these possibilities.
To date, the RCH Simulation Team has worked/is working with a number of teams to design and/or facilitate research protocols in the areas of Management of Clinical Aggression in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Palliative Care and Advanced Care Planning, Palliative care and ethical decision making, the Department of Bioethics around supporting staff after challenging events, as well as Moral distress in critical care areas. Publications with the RCH Simulation Team involvement are listed below.
