What do we do?
We arrange innovative team simulation training aimed at solving critical situations for newborns and expectant mothers. We perform in situ training in your actual working environment. The training is carried out by multidisciplinary team: neonatologists, midwives, gynaecologist(s), anesthesiologist; if necessary, other specialists are included.
Our simulation training is based on a long-term programme of cooperation between Estonia and Finland. Our team’s first trainers were experienced Finnish simulation instructors, including a specialist with a doctoral degree in simulation training. We have received our basic knowledge from Nordic simulation trainers by completing EuSim courses in Denmark (Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation, 2015 and 2016) and in Estonia (2020 and 2022). We have also taken part in international cooperation projects with the University of Tartu and the University of Helsinki.
Starting in 2021, we also conduct a basic course for simulation trainers, the first of which took place as a collaborative project between the University of Tartu Simulation Center, Tartu Health Care College, and the Defense Academy.
Who should receive the training?
The training is meant for medical staff who work with newborns and expectant mothers, in particular in maternity hospitals but also in newborn intensive care departments and emergency departments. The objectives of the training are set flexibly, depending on the needs and the expectations of the staff. During the simulation, it is possible to test the cooperation between different hospital departments, communication, and logistics, also the convenience of the work environment and tools.
