This needlestick happened during a practical training session, in the simulation environment rather than on a patient. With a flat-pack trainer in every clinician's hands, contaminated needles can be kept away from real patients while people build their skills.

I was delighted this happened in the simulation environment. I have read so many real-life incident reports and worked on this extensively in my clinical training role in the NHS. Now we can put a flat-pack trainer in every clinician's hands and keep the contaminated needles away. When an incident happens using our system, occupational health, training and infection prevention can get the message out quickly to everyone and get clinicians to practise in the way best for practice and the organisation or speciality. Happy to discuss how to bring the system on in a way that works for you and your organisation. Collaboration is key.
