 On behalf of the School of Nursing at the University of Newcastle I am delighted to invite you to our ‘Simulation and Beyond” symposium.  If you share our commitment to patient safety, view simulation as an under-estimated teaching resource, and think clinical decision making may be the ‘elephant in the room’ in terms of adverse patient outcomes, then this symposium is for you.

 The symposium program is replete with topics that will challenge and inspire you. We have brought a diverse range of presenters and a mixture of sessions that focus on practical application, pedagogical imperatives and research based initiatives ... all are relevant to the teaching of health professions and to clinical practice.

 We hope you will join us in the beautiful Hunter Valley as we learn from each other, explore the ‘Christmas Lights Spectacular’ in the gardens and perhaps even enjoy the surrounding wineries.

Kind Regards

 Tracy
