Dinwoodie Assessment and Simulation Hub (DASH) opened its doors to the first simulation course on 7th September 2016.
It is a state of the art department based at Wansbeck General Hospital that was transformed from a ward into flexible, realistic teaching environment with funding from the trust, Undergraduate Medical Education and charitable funds.
DASH aims to:
“Provide a simulated environment for teams and individuals to learn, develop
and be assessed in delivering high quality, safe, effective patient care”
