The simulation centre at Latrobe Regional hospital played host in late January to staff from the Department of Health Victoria, including two who had only started with the department the previous day.

MUDRIH, SRH – East Gippsland, Latrobe Community Health Services and Latrobe Regional Hospital are partners in the simulation learning environment extension program and met at the Traralgon simulation centre to give the department an update.

The project involves increasing the use of simulation in clinical training for both students and staff across the partner organisations and has also seen the development of equally sophisticated facilities in Bairnsdale. In Traralgon, Latrobe Community Health Services has set up consulting rooms which allow audio and video capture, and replay for participants. Simulated patients also provide cases for students to develop skills in using the interprofessional referral tool and treatment plan.
