A national system of quality assurance is essential in providing the NHS and social care workforce with clear, consistent, evidence-based standards of both content and delivery processes of simulation-based learning. This will lead to reliable, safe standards of care for patients.

The development of frameworks, templates and national resources for the briefing, immersion and debrief components of the simulation-based educational process through consensus, will support national standards with local ownership of the multi-professional quality assurance process.

Welcome to the Clinical Skills Managed Educational Network

This website provides information and resources relating to the Clinical Skills Managed Educational Network (CSMEN) which was established in 2007 to support excellence in clinical skills education.

The focus has been on improving patient safety and clinical outcomes by supporting access to high quality, multi-professional skills training and clinical simulation across all geographical areas of Scotland.

CSMEN develops online educational resources, manages and deploys a Mobile Skills Unit (MSU) which provides state of the art simulation facilities for remote and rural healthcare practitioners and has built a national network of healthcare educators and practitioners.

We connect people and organisations involved in health and social care to enable collaboration for a "Once for Scotland" approach to skills and simulation-based learning.

GRADUATE EMPLOYABILITY MASTERCLASS

Industry-led masterclasses for undergraduate and postgraduate students across Scottish universities. Students will be taken through the industry life cycle from concept to consumer, learn about career opportunities in life sciences, and build their professional network

The Scottish Life and Chemical Sciences Graduate Employability Masterclasses which grew out of the Glasgow Economic Leadership (GEL) Life Science Workstream has now been in existence since 2013. It has been successful in the key objectives identified by industry of:

Helping our life and chemical science graduates understand the diversity of jobs available to them within life science companies and organisations

Support our graduates in developing their career choice and pathway whilst also mentoring them on improving their job applications and CV

Strengthening ties between university students and staff with industry representatives

In 2020/21 the Scottish Universities Life Science Alliance (SULSA) has led the management of the Masterclasses working very closely with Careers Officers and Academics. This has resulted in Masterclasses now taking place in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen with 12 of the Scottish universities being involved, as well as the Scottish Innovation Centres and the Scottish Chemistry Research Pool, ScotCHEM.

500 students attended the classes across the Universities in 2021 and student feedback has been incredible, with over 95% of students attending providing positive feedback on the Masterclasses and the benefit to them in their career planning.

For more information on the program please see the Graduate Employability Masterclasses report.

The Graduate Employability Masterclasses are modelled on the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and we are always looking for new companies to contribute to masterclasses across Scotland and online.

We currently have four masterclass series: two in Glasgow, one in Aberdeen, one on Edinburgh (online), and one in Dundee.

Please find below a breakdown of the masterclasses and contact alison.hughes@glasgow.ac.uk if your company is interested in contributing. Each module will take approximately one hour to deliver and will include a presentation and exercise for students to work through in groups.

Module 2 (TRL 2-3)

Proof of principle, IP management, Regulatory roadmap development, proof of concept
