NASCEBackground

Surgical and Medical Clinical Skills Centre, based among other things on simulations, virtual reality- and team training, have evolved rapidly all over the world.

It is now considered to be an essential element in clinical training for medical students, trainees and healthcare professionals.

Clinical Skills Centre's operate now very differently.

At present there are no pan-European standards for the appraisal and accreditation of Clinical Skills Centre's.

A working group initiated by the Section of Surgery produced documents for accreditation requirements presented at the first meeting on the subject in Rome in April this year.
