"Experiencing several simulated anaesthetic crises, ...translates to better management of real situations"

"Practicing, witnessing & talking about the management of crisis scenarios"

High Fidelity

PSR Simulation events provide "real life" experiences in a virtual environment that mirrors your workplace.

The PSR Experience

Interact with doctors in a collegiate environment learning from shared knowledge and experiences.

Be immersed in high fidelity scenarios that expand your knowledge and awareness of new and revised techniques, crisis responses and workplace management.

Develop and train in lifesaving skills, drills and techniques without risk to patients.

Why Attend

Current research shows 12 months following a PaperScalpelRock Event:

100% of attendees report they would recommend the event
317% increase in regular use of clinical techniques taught on the day
73.6% have maintained positive changes in their work practices

How It Works

Technical and crisis scenarios based on real world cases are designed with specific learning objectives. These scenarios engage your skills, senses and experience to highlight solutions to challenges and improved outcomes.

Post scenario debriefing provides the opportunity to analyse observations, successes, challenges and decision-making experienced in the scenarios to ensure you achieve take-away outcomes to improve your practice.

Upcoming Events

OCTOBER 2016

Prepared, Practiced & Primed - Simulation for Anaesthetic Registrars

Brisbane - 29 October 2016

This tailored event for registrars is an exciting opportunity to see how your current knowledge and treatment framework will perform in practice and to develop skills and experience to improve patient outcomes and help you pass the final exam! This full day event will focus on the management of medical emergencies and crisis management skills You will experience multiple high fidelity anaesthetic scenarios and expert led case discussions. This invitational Baxter sponsored event will focus on both clinical and cognitive development and will also explore techniques for the delivery of desflurane with LMAs.

DECEMBER 2016

GP risk management simulation event

Sydney - 10 December 2016

This program uses high fidelity simulation to deliver real life experiences in a virtual environment. To develop this insight and the skills required to improve practice and patient care this event will be utlising a simulated practice environment where GP’s can practice difficult skills and techniques without risk to patients. The goal of this program is to focus on some of the non-technical skills such as communication and documentation that have a significant influence on patient safety and effective risk management.

What Our Clients Say About Us

The structure of the stimulations was excellent. The simulation stations that modelled some of the inter-personal conflict that can occur at the workplace were also a highlight.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Significant improvement in management of crisis situations. Many learning points and information which will influence and improve future practice.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Has stimulated a significant change in the approach to simulator training within the department for both trainees and consultants.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Through the cases I revised the resuscitation algorithm, rare complications. I became more aware of the non-medical aspects of an energy situation and learnt skills to manage them.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Practicing, witnessing & talking about the management of crisis scenarios. Something we don't have to do in real life very often, but something we should maintain our skills in, in case a crisis event does actually occur.
