Why is it important?
It is important that students understand their role in delivering safe patient care and being able to escalate concerns as well as implementing change that reduces the risk.
Perspectives

This paper demonstrates how simulation of clinical incidents combined with analytical activities, debriefing and reflection allow students to gain practical skills that will improve the safety of patients in their care.
