Recently, our simulation specialists have been hard at work creating synthetic skin products designed for suturing practice.
The @dalobgyn clerks put our prototype to the test at the Skills Centre, giving us valuable feedback as we compare it to other manufacturers. Innovation starts right here at the QEII Simulation Program.

Recently, @qeiifoundation donors and board members joined us in the Sim Bay for an immersive healthcare simulation as part of Operation QEII.
Participants began their scenario in the Sim Bay trauma area before transporting their ‘patient’ to the Interventional Radiology suite, experiencing firsthand how the @qeiifoundation support directly impacts patient care, teamwork, and innovation in our hospitals.
