Station | Simulation Focus | Activities |
1. | Vision, hearing and cognitive impairments | Reading the newspaper, completing a crossword puzzle, filling out a registration form in a different language (to simulate the co-existence of sensory & cognitive impairment/s) using sim specs that replicate a number of vision impairments such as retinal haemorrhage, field deficits, macular degeneration and ear plugs. |
2. | Vision and peripheral sensory impairments | Sorting out buttons of different colours, sizes and shapes (to simulate medicines management and polypharmacy). |
3. | Vision, cognitive and mobility impairments | Setting the table for two people using white and coloured/crockery cutlery (to simulate the importance of design and contrast). |
