CPD Points

Our medical simulation events are recognised by ANZCA so you gain points for Emergency Response, Knowledge and Skills and Practice Evaluation.

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

APRIL 2018

Perioperative Adventures - A Simulation Event

Melbourne - 28 April 2018

Experience high fidelity real life simulations, engage in collaborate learning, and participate in supportive, in-depth debriefing with specialist facilitators. This event has a focus on developing and practicing skills for the management of preoperative medical emergencies. It is ANZCA recognised for two emergency response activities (100% of your requirement for the triennium) as well as CPD points for knowledge and skills and practice evaluation. This event is the ultimate in simulation based education.

JUNE 2018

Managing Medical Emergencies and Anaesthetic Crisis

Brisbane - 16 June 2018

A full day event to focus on both technical and crisis management skills. You will experience multiple high fidelity anaesthetic scenarios and expert led case discussions. In world leading simulation facilities you will be able to challenge your technical and non-technical skills. This invitational Baxter sponsored event will focus on both clinical and cognitive development and provide CPD for 100% of the emergency response activities for the triennium as well as points for knowledge and skills and practice evaluation.

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.
