Abstract

Empathy Suits are an excellent way to have clinical students become immersed in a representation of the patient experience. Designed to create physical restrictions on the wearer, a restrictive empathy suit will simulate conditions such as joint restricting conditions, visual impairment, reach restriction, and increase in body weight. This HealthySimulation.com article by Phil Gurnett, RN, MSc, BSc PG Cert Ergonomics, Clinical Simulation Fellow at the University of Greenwich will explore how to incorporate the Empathy Suits, particularly ageing suits, into your clinical simulation program to further student engagement and learning
