NASCE
Background

Surgical and Medical Clinical Skills Centre, based among other
things on simulations, virtual reality- and team training, have evolved
rapidly all over the world.

It is now considered to be an essential element in clinical training for
medical students, trainees and healthcare professionals.

Clinical Skills Centre's operate now very differently.

At present there are no pan-European standards for the appraisal
and accreditation of Clinical Skills Centre's.

A working group initiated by the Section of Surgery produced
documents for accreditation requirements presented at the first
meeting on the subject in Rome in April this year.
