Message from the Directors
We’re
thrilled to bring you the February edition of our newsletter, brimming with
the vibrant energy of progress and innovation.
Team
CIME is excited to announce that our team is diligently preparing for our
upcoming international conference on healthcare simulation. Aptly named
SIMPACT (Simulation. Innovation. Multidisciplinary. Person-centered.
Accessible. Collaboration. Transformation.), this annual event promises to be
a milestone in our journey. With the theme "New Horizons in
Simulation," SIMPACT will mark AKU's first-ever international conference
dedicated to harnessing the power of simulation-based education for a safer,
more skilled healthcare future. Stay tuned for updates as we unveil the date
and details of this ground-breaking event.
While
SIMPACT will undoubtedly be the highlight of the year, our team is also
working diligently on a myriad of new simulation activities designed to
enhance your experience and expertise in the field.
We
invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we continue to push the
boundaries of healthcare simulation and education.
Regards,
Dr.
Faisal Ismail and Dr. Michael Moneypenny
Regional
Directors (South Asia and East Africa)

Introducing Sim Consults
CIME
has set a new standard at the beginning of the year by introducing Sim
Consults, a pioneering initiative aimed at raising awareness about healthcare
simulation and fostering its utilization across regions and beyond. Location
is no barrier; our weekly sessions are conducted online every Friday. Sim
Consults provide a unique opportunity for individuals to engage with our
teams directly, free of charge and without hassle.

The first In-Situ simulation at the hospital operating theatre
In
a recent In-Situ simulation held at the operating theatre, CIME introduced
Victoria, a high-fidelity birthing simulator, for the first time. The session
unfolded unexpectedly when a routine day turned into a critical scenario,
testing the team's response to a gynaecological emergency. The simulation
began with a Code Blue alert for Victoria, who had just experienced cardiac
arrest post-birth.
