Abstract

Sequential Simulation,1 a longitudinal form of simulation, was identified as an effective training approach for multi-disciplinary teams in identifying and caring for patients in their last year of life in a hospital setting. Sequential Simulation is a physical simulation of a pathway of care rather than isolated components of the trajectory. End-of-life care for patients in hospital has been reported as inadequate in the UK.2 The need for this training was identified through the literature and an in-house training needs analysis in conjunction with patients and their families.
