Simulation deliverers:

A total of seven nurse teachers were involved in organising the simulation exercise.

One operator and one facilitator were present in each simulation group.

Patient information:

Simulation phases:

1. Briefing (60 min):

- Recalling the patient information and the learning objective

- Selection of an active participant or observer role.

2. Scenario (15 min)

- Working through the scenario (with support from a nurse teacher if required).
