Simulation Hub

The Simulation Hub is an innovative training facility which places staff in an environment accurate to scenarios they would face in real life (whether on ward or in the community) alongside trained actors who take on the roles of service users or carers. Co-produced with our experts by experience, the training provides staff with a safe, judgement-free, practical space that is almost identical to the working environment, recreating the kinds of challenges that can occur in normal day-to-day work.

The simulation suite consists of clinical skills laboratories and simulation and debrief rooms that contain high-fidelity mannequins and cameras.

The simulation-based training is helping to improve skills in mental health, physical health and learning disabilities. The simulation Hub is delivering a multiagency suicide prevention training across the integrated care system supporting the implementation of a evidence based Suicide Prevention Pathway in Hertfordshire.
