Simulation training in primary care

Abstract

In line with the increasing focus on community-based care, there is a need for effective and adaptive training opportunities to ensure that health professionals within primary care can fulfill their increasingly complex duties. Simulation-based training (SBT) offers a possible solution. However, SBT has been underutilised within this context, and only few know its potential applications. This article provides an overview of how SBT can be implemented to improve the training opportunities within primary care, ensuring the health professionals are prepared for the transition to community-based care.
