2024 Medical Sim Night
Medical Sim Night is the first of our annual simulation events.
Times are TBC so make sure you save this date!
We will require first year volunteers as patients, second/third years as paramedic crews, and if you want to get involved behind-the-scenes don’t hesitate to let our executive committee know. This is a fantastic way to put your knowledge and skills into practice, whether that’s as a patient presenting with an illness or condition, or as treating paramedics.
Keep an eye on our socials and your inboxes!

2023 Trauma Simulation Night
1530-2030
Registrations are NOW CLOSED for Patient, Paramedic Crew, and Scene Coordinator Roles. The registration link is sent out via emails so make sure you’re up to date with contact information.
Our Simulation Nights are a fantastic event for students, faculty, alumni, and the wider emergency services. The USQSPS Trauma Night in particular is an event for our students to focus on ‘The Big Jobs’; traumatic scenarios such as broken limbs, crush injuries, burns etc.
Our First Year students do a splendid job as patients and scene coordinators while our Second and Third Years get hands-on experience running these scenarios as they would in the real world. All of our scenarios are run by qualified QAS paramedics and our fantastic UniSQ faculty, and we are often lucky to have QFES officers and sometimes QPS attend to provide that interoperability opportunity.

Tickets are available via our shop from 0900 on September 29th.
We have four different ticket bundles on offer; 1 ticket for $3, 6 tickets for $15, 15 tickets for $30 and 30 tickets for $60.
