On 12 March, the University of Luxembourg is pleased to invite you to the next IMPACT conference “Simulation in Medical Imaging: supporting professional practice, patient safety and quality of care“.
Simulation-based learning is increasingly recognised as a strategic tool for undergraduate education and lifelong learning in imaging and radiation sciences, supporting standardisation of practice, professional competence, confidence, and patient safety. By recreating realistic clinical and interprofessional scenarios in a safe environment, simulation enables the structured development of clinical skills in students, efficient onboarding of new staff, retraining during technological or procedural changes and preparation for rare or high-risk situations.
This approach is particularly valuable in evolving healthcare systems where time-efficient, standardised, and safety-oriented training is essential for high-quality patient-centred care across diverse professional backgrounds.
Venue
The event will be organised in Belval, Maison du Nombre, Floor 1 – Room 0146030. Online attendance is also possible. The link to the online conference will be sent upon registration.

Practical applications of the topic
- Radiographers and other Healthcare Professionals: Simulation supports continuous professional development by strengthening technical performance, clinical reasoning, communication, and professional confidence. It allows safe practice of complex scenarios and facilitates adaptation to new technologies, protocols, and evolving clinical responsibilities.
- Hospitals and Healthcare Organisations: Simulation-based training promotes consistency and standardisation of practice while optimising training time. It is an effective strategy for onboarding new staff, retraining experienced professionals, and managing transitions related to new equipment, workflows, or organisational change, with a direct impact on patient safety and quality of care.
- Interprofessional Healthcare Teams: Simulation enhances teamwork, communication, and role clarity across disciplines, supporting integrated care pathways and effective collaboration in complex clinical environments.
- Academicians, Educators, and Researchers: Simulation provides a structured framework to connect educational evidence with clinical practice, supporting evaluation of learning outcomes and organisational impact.
- Patients and Patient Partners: Ultimately, simulation contributes to safer, more consistent, and patient-centred care by improving professional preparedness, confidence, and quality of healthcare delivery.
