The course is run on a cost-neutral basis. We have to charge a fee to pay for the actors, without whom the course just would not work, and to provide tea/coffee and lunch during the course. We know that some courses no longer provide refreshments in order to keep costs down however in our setting this would cause disruption to the day. We also think the opportunity to talk to peers from around the country over lunch is a valuable side benefit of the course.

We are fortunate that we can use the sim centre at Salford without charge and even more fortunate that our faculty give their time for free. We think the course is great value for money but are always willing to listen to feedback if you feel it isn't.
