Through the generous support of the Oliver Family Foundation, new training and simulation equipment will soon be available to caregivers at St John of God Ballarat Hospital, and will enhance the exceptional level of care that is provided to the Ballarat community.
The Oliver family are Ballarat locals and have deep connections to the community, including St John of God Ballarat Hospital, where they have previously supported life-saving equipment for the Emergency Department.
The new training and simulation equipment funded by the Oliver Family Foundation will help to enrich the skills and abilities of Ballarat’s caregivers, and support better health outcomes for the community.
Simulation-based learning provides students and caregivers with experience of simulated patients and technologically complex mannequins that replicate important aspects of patient physiology. Through simulation training, students have repeated opportunities to learn, practice and receive specific and immediate feedback to help them develop their expertise.
Thanks to the support of the Oliver Family Foundation, St John of God Ballarat Hospital has the opportunity to transform its current training and simulation program through the acquisition of state of the art equipment and technology, delivering programs that lead the charge in excellence and innovation for the training of health professionals and students in the Ballarat area and regional Victoria.
We remain incredibly grateful to the Oliver family for their support and commitment to better health outcomes for the Ballarat community.
