It is expected that there will be some standardisation ofthe scenarios, so there will be no obvious difference in the training at differentsites, as the latest mannequins and equipment will be utilised at all sites. It isexpected that these simulation days will go well beyond that of basic resuscitationthat is provided on the NLS and APLS/EPLS courses.• Wednesday 16th May: Medway Maritime Hospital• Tuesday 3rd July: Royal Sussex County Hospital
