Bangalore: There is no second opinion about Nurses being the most crucial aspect of critical care in ICUs of hospitals. Always in quest for excellence and better patient outcomes, Narayana Health recognized the need to empower them by enhancing their skills. With this end in view, Narayana Health has established an Advanced Simulation Centre for their training. This will all the more a boost to Narayana Health’s reputation of bestr patient care.
Narayana Health City has taken a significant step in advancing healthcare by inaugurating its state-of-the-art Advanced Simulation Centre, dedicated to the training of ICU nurses. The launch event, held at the hospital’s Heart Care Block, was marked by the presence of Dr. Devi Shetty, Founder and Chairman of Narayana Health, along with Trustees from the Madhukanta Gunvant Sheth Charitable Trust from Mumbai who generously supported and financed the project.
The Advanced Simulation Centre is equipped with cutting-edge technology designed to provide immersive, hands-on training for nurses specializing in critical care. The facility includes a critical-care simulation area complete with patient simulators, mechanical ventilators, cardiac monitors, and other essential equipment. This initiative is expected to significantly elevate the quality of nursing care in ICU settings, thereby improving patient outcomes.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Devi Shetty emphasized the importance of this development: “The launch of the Advanced Simulation Centre is a milestone in nursing education in India. By providing our nurses with the opportunity to practice in a realistic but safe environment, we are empowering them to become more confident and proficient in handling complex medical situations. This will not only improve patient care but also contribute to the overall enhancement of our healthcare system.”
The simulation-based training offered at the centre will allow nurses to develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and teamwork—attributes that are essential in high-stakes ICU environments. The training programs will cater to nurses at various stages of their careers, from basic to advanced levels, ensuring that all participants can benefit from the learning opportunities provided.
In collaboration with the Madhukanta Gunvant Sheth Charitable Trust, Narayana Health City’s commitment to promoting excellence in nursing is expected to fill crucial training gaps in the healthcare system.
By enhancing the skills of ICU nurses, the Advanced Simulation Centre will play a key role in reducing complications associated with patient handling in ICUs and contribute to better healthcare outcomes across India.
