title: Using simulation to foster patient-centred care.
abstract: This article reports on a pilot study undertaken to assess the impact of introducing simulation training for healthcare cadets. The aim was to educate cadets in the essentials of patient care by adopting a blended approach to learning, combining theoretical knowledge with the opportunity to practise key skills in a simulated environment to enhance underpinning knowledge.
