Moulage

Enhance patient scenarios and training outcomes using injury simulation

Moulage enhances simulation training by applying mock injuries or medical conditions to manikins or standardised patients. This technique creates an immersive learning environment where learners can refine their clinical skills, decision-making, and teamwork essential for handling emergency situations.

The precise and realistic application of moulage elements is crucial for achieving authentic and effective simulation-based education. Perfecting technique requires organisation and understanding, and our solutions-based training model equips you with the necessary preparation and practice to perfect its application.

Better prepare for real-world patient care situations
