A brilliant final session in ED, with our NCHDs turning the tables and testing the learners — even the ED consultants weren’t spared 😄 Poor Santa got well and truly stuck in the chimney! Huge thanks to everyone across SUH who supported, participated in, and championed SIM 🥰

Our final theatre simulation of 2025 focused on a failed obstetric spinal, placing human factors, front and centre A valuable session highlighting how human factors, teamwork and psychological safety are critical to protecting mothers during high-risk peri-operative events.

ED/Paeds interdepartmental simulation today,ready for flu season. Teams worked through severe viral wheeze scenario, strengthening collaboration, communication&shared decision-making. Brilliant buy-in, focusing on enhancing ptsafety and preparing for the busy months ahead. ❄️🩺

Our final 4MB Paediatric simulation of the term focused on managing seizures and febrile convulsions. It’s been fantastic working with such an enthusiastic and engaged group of students. Thank you for your energy, teamwork and willingness keep up the great work! 👏✨

🚨 ED & ICU IPE Trauma Simulation 🩺 Strengthening IP teamwork to 📈 pt safety. Today’s trauma scenario activated the trauma bleep in real time, allowing teams to test system responses, identify gaps, and refine how we work together when every second counts.

🎓 Our Final Intern Simulation! 🚑 A huge thank you to this enthusiastic group who fully immersed themselves in today’s anaphylaxis simulation. Fantastic teamwork and great hands-on practice following the algorithm under pressure. 👏 Wishing you every success in ur new hospitals.

ICGP / Psychiatric Physical Health simulation today in the AMHU, focusing on early recognition and management of sepsis. A valuable opportunity for teams to practise assessment, escalation and communication. Great engagement from all involved. @KenHogan20 @NMPDUNorthWest

reat energy at today’s SUH PROMPT course, bringing multidisciplinary teams to rehearse HALO events 👏. Deliberate practice in a recreated clinical environment strengthens teamwork 🤝, sharpens decision-making 🧠, & ultimately enhances patient safety ❤️. Well done @McEvoyRebecca

Another excellent deteriorating-pt simulation today focusing on haematemesis/upper GI bleed. Brilliant teamwork,clear communication,&timely escalation throughout the scenario. Well done to everyone involved,prioritising patient safety through deliberate practice. @GeorginaKilcoy3

Our monthly paediatric simulation focused on status epilepticus today — emphasising algorithm-driven care and reducing cognitive load for the team. Excellent A–E assessment, timely medication sequencing, and seamless escalation to anaesthetics. @CatherineGlanc3 @GeorginaKilcoy3

A fantastic ICU cardiac arrest simulation today, centred on the ACLS algorithm, strong team leadership, and effective closed-loop communication. The team worked systematically through the reversible causes, ruling out the 4 Hs and 4 Ts. @GeorginaKilcoy3 @MauraHeffernan2

@roisingetz @iaanmp @CNMESligo @NurMidONMSD Your a fantastic asset to SUH @roisingetz 👏🏻

Celebrating the begining of advanced nurse/midwife practitioner week with my monday antenatal clinic @iaanmp @CNMESligo @SligoSim @NurMidONMSD

Advancing Trauma Simulation and Team Training at SUH Led by Dr Stephen Gilmartin @GilmartinStevo and the multidisciplinary trauma team, this initiative supports Ireland’s National Trauma Strategy: A Trauma System for Ireland. linkedin.com/posts/national…

Another great IPE simulation today focused on enhancing patient safety through deliberate practice in managing early pregnancy emergencies and activating the emergency response. Huge thanks to Dr O’Moore for championing patient safety and teamwork in action! 👏 @McEvoyRebecca

ED simulation this morning focused on clear communication, teamwork, and the prompt management of SVT 💬⚡️ Great hands-on learning for our multidisciplinary team, strengthening confidence in recognising&treating cardiac emergencies. 👏 @EMedSligo @GeorginaKilcoy3 @bronataaffee

Welcoming our new pre-registration nurses with simulation-based induction training! 🩺✨ Today’s session focused on recognising patient deterioration, effective escalation using ISBAR communication, &initiating treatment. Sim helps build confidence, teamwork, &clinical readiness

Maternal collapse simulation at Sligo University Hospital today — focusing on clear communication, rapid teamwork, and effective activation of the Obstetric Emergency Bleep system to enhance patient safety and team response. 👏 @McEvoyRebecca #Simulation #Teamwork

This morning at Sligo University Hospital, the theatre team ran a malignant hyperthermia simulation, practising the rapid recognition and treatment of this rare but life-threatening emergency,Regular simulation ensures our teams are confident, coordinated and ready to respond.
