In our regions (Merseyside and the north-west of England), clinicians were asked to develop simulation training in their own specialities which could link in with these strategies. To this end, we developed a 2-day neonatal simulation course for specialist trainee Level 2 and 3 doctors to attend prior to them assuming a more senior role on a neonatal unit (the ‘pre-ST4’ course). The course includes practical clinical skills workshops (airway management, intubation, umbilical catheterisation and chest drain insertion), short lectures … ER -
