Neonatal resuscitation is a high-stakes, low-frequency event. Research consistently shows that skills, confidence, and team performance decline within months of training without practice. In-situ simulation addresses this gap by bringing tailored, hands-on NRP training directly into the clinical environment.
Sessions are designed in collaboration with each site that scenarios are tailored to local needs, priorities, and clinical context. Training takes place in the actual care environment and considers:
Each session is delivered on site, runs 4–6 hours, and is fully hands-on. Scenarios are followed by a structured debrief led by experienced instructors, creating space for reflection, skill refinement, and team-based learning.
This format reinforces teamwork and provider knowledge while allowing for the identification of local system or workflow gaps.
These sessions are designed for NRP-certified providers in community/rural centres that may be involved in newborn care or neonatal resuscitation, including:
We welcome inquiries from community hospitals, clinics, and non-WCH departments within the Saint John Regional Hospital.
