Centre for Excellence in Healthcare Simulation recognised for innovation
The Australian Nursing Awards were introduced last year to honour and recognise nurses, graduate nurses and nursing innovations that make a difference.
The Innovation in Nursing Award recognises ECU's commitment to producing competent graduates through healthcare simulation and scenario-based learning innovations using actors.
The ECU Centre for Excellence in Healthcare Simulation was developed by the School to facilitate scenario-based learning to ensure that nursing graduates are well-equipped and confident in dealing with a range of challenging clinical scenarios.
Head of the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Postgraduate Medicine Professor Cobie Rudd and team leader, Associate Professor Christopher Churchouse, are now hoping to expand the library of scenarios to include specialist areas such as Alzheimer's care, youth suicide, domestic violence and drug and alcohol issues.
