The aim of the ESPNIC Simulation Working Group is to advance paediatric and neonatal critical care training and education based on simulation technologies. Simulation-based medical education can be a platform which provides a valuable tool in learning to  improve clinical performance, patient safety, and outcomes. One of the aims of this group is to promote a simulation based educational program and work on developing a European consensus statement for training and accreditation required to become a simulation instructor for neonatal and paediatric critical care area.
