Support digital healthcare simulation

To ensure that high-quality care is offered in Swedish in Finland also in the future, a modern simulation centre that meets the demands of working life and society is needed. As a pioneer in simulation pedagogy, Arcada is ready to take on the challenge.

Arcada's nursing programme has been ranked as Finland's best by the students. A cornerstone of our nursing education is simulation teaching where students can practice care situations in a safe environment. Arcada has cutting-edge expertise in simulation pedagogy and now we are ready to take our simulation environments to the 2020s.

Today, increased areas of responsibility, digitalised services and personal responsibility for competence development are putting increasing pressure on health care staff. In order to give today's students a realistic picture of working life and the skills required, we want to expand the simulations to more realistic environments, both physical and digital.

By hiring a simulation developer who technically supports the teaching in the centre, we can make the simulations more efficient and ensure the quality of the activities. To enable self-directed learning, we also want to be able to offer students equipment intended for independent practice.

Improved care processes and continuing education

A renewed simulation centre not only results in competent health care staff, but also improved processes and systems in health care. The centre will play an important role in being able to offer continuing education that supports career development for professionals.

At Arcada, we want to ensure that high-quality and up-to-date care is offered in Swedish in Finland now and in the future. Help us ensure that there are professional nurses, midwives and emergency carers who possess the knowledge and confidence to deal with the demanding situations that they face in the healthcare sector!

The new simulation centre includes:

  • Audiovisual simulation system

  • Camera equipment that allows students to simulate outside the center

  • Acquisition of digital software that allows students to practice independently

By donating to our new simulation centre, you support:

  • Versatile simulations in more realistic environments

  • Simulations that focus on leadership, critical thinking, communication, decision-making and treatment in healthcare

  • Improving processes and systems in healthcare
