Presentation

The Simulation Centre of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FCS) is a teaching space specifically designed for learning activities based on simulation and clinical skills training. 

In this facility, Bachelor's degree and postgraduate Health Sciences students can engage in scenarios that mimic real-world conditions, allowing them to advance in the acquisition of competencies within a controlled and safe environment.

 

Management Team

The centre's management and coordination are overseen by the Health Sciences Education Unit (UECS) in collaboration with technical staff supporting simulation activities.

Teaching areas and equipment

Currently, the Simulation Centre comprises nine teaching spaces designed for versatile use. Three of these spaces are equipped with audiovisual systems to support clinical trials in various contexts, such as hospital rooms, emergency/critical care units, consultation rooms, or home settings. 
 
Plans are underway to expand the Simulation Centre with new facilities in the Faculty of Health Sciences' upcoming building, at the Tudela Campus, and with an Outside-of-hospital Care Simulation Area.

 

Pretend patients programme

A pretend patient (PP) is a person trained to play the role of a real patient, relative or companion in a believable way. The goal of the Pretend Patients’ Teaching Programme (PPTP) is to use this teaching resource for both improving teaching quality and assessing the competencies acquired by students.
