Practice-ready Nurses and Midwives: Simulated Success, Real-world Impact: This activation is a two-hour interactive workshop designed to demonstrate the connection between theory and practice through simulation for future nurses and midwives. It will begin with a focused theoretical session on key concepts and evidence-based practices, followed by an engaging hands-on experience using a range of simulation techniques using low, medium, and high-fidelity simulations. This practical component enables attendees to observe how theoretical knowledge can be applied in realistic scenarios, reinforcing the link between theory and practice while enhancing confidence and competence for real-world settings.
