It helps reduce clinical errors and addresses patient safety issues. Multiple areas can be covered including procedural skills training, communication, teamwork and human factors training. We present a ¡°model of simulation¡± in education, which is based onRoyalCollegeof Paediatrics and Child HealthUnited Kingdomgeneral paediatric curriculum. Simulation complements the existing neonatal education programme both for doctors and nurses. It has the long-term purpose of achieving higher standards in neonatal care through the training of staff in a structured, multidisciplinary environment. Its quality and impact are subject to feedback from the participants. This has helped in its evolution and development as a multidisciplinary programme. %K Simulation %K Education %K Neonatal %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=28620
