From WickedSim
Welcome to www.WickedSim.org
WickedSim allows those of us with an interest in healthcare simulation to share their ideas. Welcome! Please consult the Help pages to find out how to contribute to our Wiki (anybody can). Here's our Manifesto. And if you wish to try out using a wiki without breaking anything, you can scribble on THIS page!Contents |
News flash: Owing to a recent attack of spambots, I'm afraid we've tightened up editing until we sort things out. (Apologies, Sysop).
Major topics include...
- A gentle introduction to simulation
- Simulation Standards
- SimMan programming
- SimMan Hardware
- METI programming
- METI hardware
- METI troubleshooting
- Other medical simulators
Other useful pages you might wish to augment
- A Simulation Curriculum
- A SimMan Familiarisation Checklist
- Normal Physiology
- Video and audio skills
- Human factors
- Issues of Usability
- In-situ and mobile simulation
- A miscellany
- Simulation Links
- Moulage
- BINGO
About our Logo
Realistic simulation combines credible models of reality, lots of fun, and a dab of magic. We've tried to combine these three in our logo. We considered having a black hat, but prefer the glitzy one! PS. Can you spot the deliberate mistake? (It's rather subtle).
The ultimate solution to Wiki Spam
Have you noticed how persistent and irritating spammers are, especially on Wikis? Here's the solution:
Spammers thrive on pushing their product, often through automated 'spambots' that write to your wiki, either anonymously or by registering.
So every time they do so, create a SysOp-protected page on your site which associates their product with something really vile, something that creates a nasty image in the mind of their reader. (anthrax, bubonic plague, gonorrhoea, transmissible disease, rat infestation, the possibilities are endless). Tit-for tat.
Now that's a solution :-)
