Abstract
Simulation training in medical education allows multidisciplinary teams to train in a realistic clinical environment. It helps reduce clinical errors and addresses patient safety issues. Multiple areas can be covered including procedural skills training, communication, teamwork and human factors training. We present a “model of simulation” in education, which is based onRoyalCollegeof Paediatrics and Child HealthUnited Kingdomgeneral paediatric curriculum. Simulation complements the existing neonatal education programme both for doctors and nurses. It has the long-term purpose of achieving higher standards in neonatal care through the training of staff in a structured, multidisciplinary environment. Its quality and impact are subject to feedback from the participants. This has helped in its evolution and development as a multidisciplinary programme.

Summary
“The unfamiliar was familiar because it had been encountered many times before.”. These are the words of Liam Donaldson endorsing the need for simulation in training the medical workforce in the United Kingdom as part of the Chief Medical Officers report in 2008 [1]. Simulation allows multidisciplinary teams to train in an interactive environment facing real clinical scenarios It helps to develop team work and communication skills across specialties, as well as allow training in rare and complex scenarios [3]. Significant work has been performed by Fawke et al in Leicester, where a high fidelity point of care neonatal simulation programme has been established and operated for over 3 years. This programme has been operated in the form of fortnightly sessions that are run by a multidisciplinary team replicating the working environment [6]. Sharma / Open Journal of Pediatrics 3 (2013) 10-16 effective “point of care high fidelity simulation programme” remains a challenging prospect that may take years to achieve [6]
