Abstract

Establishing a simulation centre remains a real challenge for many experts in the field of clinical simulation. A panel of experts presented some guidelines during the International Conference on Advanced Clinical Simulation that was held in Prince Sultan Military College of Health Sciences, Dhahran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in October 2014. The round table discussion addressed eight themes: The planning stage, stakeholders’ involvement, strategic planning, centre design, partnership development, faculty development, curriculum development and establishing a research strategy. The conclusions are presented in this paper.
