The Bristol Paediatric Simulation Programme is one of the executive arms of UHBW Simulation Services.
The BMSC was the first training facility of its kind in the UK. It is based in the UHBW Education Centre, directly opposite the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. It was established as a joint venture between the United Bristol Healthcare NHS Trust and the University of Bristol and was initially funded by the Charitable Trustees for the United Bristol Hospitals, but is now wholly affiliated to University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust. It remains unique as one of the most successful clinical simulations centre in the world.
The BPSP is committed to enhance patient safety and quality of health care delivery through the integration of multi-disciplinary simulation based education through application of simulation based education in its four strategic pillars; Education, Quality Improvement, Clinical Governance and Research.
A carefully created bidirectional relationship between the BPSP and BRHC Clinical Governance pillars (Audit, Clinical Effectiveness Committee, Risk, Patient Safety and Patient Liaison Service) quality assures the SBE delivered by both informing and critically evaluating the educational impact of the BPSP educational content. Thus providing an integral vehicle for the BRHC’s strive for excellence in clinical practice and improved patient outcomes.
