A co-operation between the simulation centres in
Copenhagen, London and Tuebingen. Hosted in and co-conducted with METS Center, the Netherlands

Different centres and perspectives – valuable learning
This time hosted in Bilthoven, Utrecht, the Netherlands

For the seventh time we offer this special course - uniquely combining the expertise of different simulation centres and experienced multi-disciplinary instructors (physicians, nurses, paramedics,
