The simulation suite at Perth Children’s Hospital is a state-of-the-art training suite, mirroring international best practice. The aim of the simulation team is to improve the quality and safety of paediatric patient care in Western Australia through the use of simulation education. By delivering high quality paediatric high fidelity simulation training to health service staff working within WA health, it allows for tailored training for multidisciplinary groups in emergency situations, allowing staff to practice skills and run through scenarios that occur infrequently. 

“We are proud to be partnering with MACA to provide ongoing training opportunities for staff within Perth Children’s Hospital. The simulation suite at the hospital is one of the best examples in the world – and through this fellowship program, we can continue to nurture the next generation of health professionals to help WA’s sickest children get well and stay well.” – Carrick Robinson, Chief Executive Officer, Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Thanks to our incredible donors, we are able to fund clinicians who are among the best in their field to help support clinical research and training here in WA and across Australia. Through this funding we were able to support two Paediatric Simulation Fellows at Perth Children’s Hospital to enable capacity building of both research education and simulation which will help to improve the quality of care for children and families.
