Learning from life before it happens.
The essence of SJD Simulation
The three ingredients that explain us.
We are good people and we care about people. We are passionate about what we do and we care about doing it well.
We are good people and we care about people. We are passionate about what we do and we care about doing it well.
With more than a decade of experience, we have achieved great milestones and learned from every step. Being connected to international benchmarks gives us perspective and inspires us to grow continuously.
The Clinical Simulation Unit at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital is affiliated with Boston Children's Hospital Immersive Design Systems.
Our goal is to drive change in individuals, teams and organisations by integrating simulation into everyday life.
We offer four lines of service based on the Boston Children's Hospital Immersive Design Systems model: SimTrain, SimTest, SimEngineer, and SimNetwork, designed to meet different needs and challenges.
SIMTrain: Learning for individuals and teams.
We help people design the professional they want to be, offering reflective experiences focused on growing technical and relational competencies. We accelerate the advancement of work teams to help them become more effective, developing psychological safety, responsibility and curiosity.
SIMTest: Designing the best work systems.
We use clinical simulation as a tool for the design and analysis of spaces, processes and care equipment in order to maximise clinical safety and enhance the experience of patients, families and professionals. It is simulation designed to bring work-as-imagined and work-as-prescribed closer to work-as-done.
SIMEngineer: Engineering realism to create immersive experiences.
The fidelity of a simulation scenario depends on physical, conceptual and emotional details. Our unit's technical professionals combine technology, art, and methodology to create anatomical simulation models in response to specific project needs.
SIMNetwork: Strategies to promote simulation in other organisations.
We train professionals from any discipline as simulation facilitators using methodologies co-created with simulation professionals at Boston Children's Hospital. We offer support projects to other institutions to promote simulation as a training and care tool.
Our methodology
We address every key simulation detail to ensure effective, safe and transformative learning, which enhances both technical skills and analysis of human factors.
We design simulation workshops where you can apply and hone your practical skills through realistic and dynamic scenarios.
We build risk-free learning spaces in a controlled environment where you can practice and hone your skills with confidence.
We promote group discussion spaces that will help you gain knowledge based on reflection and insight from different points of view.
We have specialists in engineering, technology and moulage who design and develop specific and customised elements to guarantee maximum realism in each simulation.
We are a team of renowned experts in clinical simulation, committed to offering you excellent training. We accompany you throughout the entire process to enhance your professional growth.
We stay up to date with the latest available scientific evidence, ensuring that our solutions are optimal and relevant to today's challenges
