Simulation-based education at level 4: The role of multidisciplinary team input in the design and facilitation of a simulated radiographic placement.

Introduction: Simulation based education (SBE) and creatively designed placements are becoming increasingly well established in radiography pedagogy and allow a more efficient use of clinical resources in the training of new radiographers to meet workforce demands. Student radiographers have expressed concern about striking a balance between providing patient centered care and developing their radiographic competency. A co-designed simulated placement was developed with a focus on these two aspects of radiography education aiming to increase the competence and confidence of level 4 students while incorporating patient centred care (PCC) into their practice.
