In-person training in Belgium
Upon request (min. 4 pers)
Enhance skills and teamwork as you engage in highly realistic dialysis simulations in a safe learning environment.
It is important to regularly practice scenarios involving intra-hemodialytic critical situations in order to properly manage the actual events in a clinical setting. Scenario-based simulation training is an effective and unique way of gaining knowledge, practicing skills, and achieving confidence, all while practicing the critical event protocols of your specific dialysis unit.1,2 You will learn with high-fidelity mannequins that simulate real patients, allowing your team to make errors, which then become learning opportunities. Thus, both patient safety and the psychological safety of learners are maintained.
A prerequisite for this training is “Crisis Resource Management”, which will allow your team to understand the non-technical skills required for effective teamwork, such as communication, leadership, dynamic decision-making, co-operation, and situation awareness skills. Non-technical skills are as important as technical skills, since the most common root causes of incidents in healthcare are human factors, leadership, and communication3.

Who should attend?
- Dialysis nurses of all experiences
- The level of difficulty of the scenario will be adjusted according to your team’s working experiences
― Who want to develop and enhance their cognitive, technical, and non-technical skills to an advanced level for leading a nursing team
- Experienced nurses requiring dialysis recertification
- Prerequisite
― All participants must have already completed the training “Crisis Resource Management” in order to practice and apply its principles in the simulation session
