Suggested Simulators
An Online European Directory for Interventional Pulmonology (IP) Simulators, Service & Training
Europe has many centres which perform interventional procedures (IP) and can offer a variety of training opportunities. These centres have a diverse type of equipment for simulation and can offer individual opportunities for fellowships or periods of training and activities on their simulators.
Hospital with a newly appointed doctor, may require this doctor to have more time on an EBUS simulator to either confirm competency or improve capability, but can have difficulty in offering training if the institution does not have the equipment. The absence of a centralised database for simulators may limit service development of new IP procedures. On the other hand many institutions may have invested large budgets in simulators, but these remain underused outside course activity for a long period of time as there is no possibility for outside doctors to access them.
The creation of a central European IP directory of simulators, services and training might connect better the demand for simulators with the supply already available. It may easily suggest some training options close to a doctor’s home, with information about conditions for accessing simulators, or conditions for taking part in local courses or training fellowships.
The IP training in Europe is currently fragmented and not standardised. The availability of a central database of IP services and training can also offer important information on the differences between countries and can contribute to a future standardization of the training programmes that can be adopted by organisations, such as EABIP.
All participants in the project will be acknowledged, and the simulation centres will be able to promote their services through the platform and benefit through an increased utilisation of their simulators and other additional training that might be offered.
The project is a privately funded initiative with the support of EABIP (European Association of Bronchoscopy and Interventional Pulmonology).
