The Mobile Skills Unit (MSU) was developed to support the delivery of clinical skills training and education to all healthcare practitioners, the emergency services and members of the public across Scotland.
The first MSU was on the road from January 2009 to August 2018 when it was replaced by the current MSU. The MSU provides a safe learning environment, part-task trainers and state of the art simulation equipment (including SimMan 3G Plus, SimJunior, SimBaby and SimNewB) which allow a broad range of clinical skills education to be delivered.
A host is required in each location to take responsibility for the MSU during a visit and put together a training programme based on local needs. Training can be delivered by a mix of local and national trainers, and we recommend trainers and hosts attend our two day MSU Faculty Development Course prior to an MSU visit.
If you are interested in booking the MSU for your area please visit the How to Book page for more information on how to book the MSU, the role of the host and venue requirements.
