Abstract

Simulation is an established transformational and experiential learning strategy in health education, drawing on creative and innovative teaching techniques. This article discusses a large-scale unfolding case study using real-time simulation with a multiprofessional facilitation team, to explore how using several simulation techniques can provide a rich learning experience for both midwifery students and their facilitators. Many midwifery students find the application of theoretical learning to practice settings a challenge, and report lacking confidence in certain elements of clinical practice, which can become more concerning in the latter stages of their training. By using multiple approaches with a student-centred outlook, this immersive simulation event positively impacted students' clinical confidence and assurance in their assessment skills, and enabled them to feel more fully prepared for everyday midwifery practice.
