4: Training Simulator - NEW Upgraded K2 Simulator 2.0!

All the simulator training cases are actual cases. These cases are presented to you in their entirety and you decide, blind to outcome, how they should be managed. When the case review is over you can compare your management with 3 independent experts and the actual clinical outcome.

K2MS Simulator 2.0

The K2MS Simulator 2.0 is now fully upgraded to embrace NICE guidelines and features exciting new functionality and management options. Classification of individual CTG features can be selected and an overall classification, in accordance with the NICE guidelines, is then automatically determined. INFANT® (link to INFANT page) technology is also embedded within the simulator providing its own interpretation for comparison which, together with expert analysis from independent clinicians and specialists, provides segment by segment feedback. Individuals can score and rate their own interpretations against the experts, and challenge them directly by being able to send comments and queries straight from Simulator 2.0. Queries are answered personally allowing each user to benefit from one to one support. Finally, an assessment mode allows the user to review cases with no feedback from either the experts, or INFANT®, thereby testing their own skill. Results can then be compared with those of the experts to assess how they got on. All scores and comparisons are stored for future reference.
