Practical Clinical Assessment Simulation Courses

Practical Simulation Courses are back

We're excited to continue our face-to-face Practical Simulation Courses in March and April.  While we are still unable to return to the APC simulation labs at this time, we have secured an alternative venue at which to run all of our non-acute musculoskeletal and neurological Practical courses.

Our Practical Courses will now be conducted at Exercise Thought Physiotherapy, 12 Castella St, Lilydale, 3140. 
Picture
Our one-day Practical Simulation Courses are specifically designed to assist physiotherapists preparing to sit their APC clinical examinations.

Under the supervision of our physiotherapists, you will work with simulated patients (professional actors) performing assessments and interventions in real-world settings. 

We offer practical courses in 6 different case scenarios across cardiorespiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal areas of practice.  

​In addition to our Practical Courses, we are now offering Virtual Online Simulation Courses.  Click here for more details

Course Details

Cardiorespiratory - COPD

This course focuses on Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy practice and clinical reasoning, and involves three simulation-based interactions with patients experiencing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) across acute, rehabilitation, and outpatient settings.  
cardiorespiratory - COPD Course details
Click to expand
Further detail of the Clinical Assessment Simulation Courses include:
  • 3x 1-hour interactions with simulated patients, where participants complete assessments and interventions in a "mock exam" setting (once as therapist, twice as observer and assistant)
  • Presentation and discussion of a clinical reasoning framework that can be applied to all cardiorespiratory patient scenarios in acute, rehabilitation, and outpatients
  • Updates on recommendations for practice relating to COPD
  • Guided reflective case discussions, debriefing, and individual feedback from expert physiotherapists on your skills
  • Constructive feedback from the patient's perspective about your communication and language skills
  • Orientation to the APC Simulation Lab, where clinical assessments are held
  • Course timing is from 9:30am to 5:30pm
  • ​Course cost is $495 per person
  • Small group numbers (capped at 6) give individualised attention to participants and direct feedback from the physiotherapy facilitator
  • Multi course discounts are also available when you book 3 or more sessions 
learning objectives
At the conclusion of this one day course, participants will be able to:
  1. Describe the continuum of multidisciplinary care for a person experiencing an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Australian healthcare contexts
  2. Design and implement a physiotherapy assessment of a person experiencing an exacerbation of COPD across the continuum of care (acute, sub-acute and pulmonary rehabilitation).
  3. Formulate a prioritised problem list for a person experiencing an exacerbation of COPD, and compare and contrast the likely challenges people experience following an exacerbation of COPD from admission to resolution of stable disease state.
  4. Formulate and implement an evidence-informed physiotherapy management plan for a person experiencing an exacerbation of COPD across the continuum of care (acute, sub-acute and pulmonary rehabilitation).
  5. Engage in team communications for multidisciplinary discharge planning
  6. Practice in a culturally responsive manner, with respect for cultural diversity in the Australian context.
