Dear colleagues
In Wales, UK we are currently engaged in discussions regarding the appropriate proportion of clinical hours that
undergraduate midwifery students can/should spend in simulated learning situations. As it becomes increasingly difficult for students to gain
'real life' hands on experience, the use of clinical simulation labs is growing. But is there an ideal proportion of simulation hours to real life experience? There are lots of opinions about this! But does anyone know of any research evidence?
Many thanks
