What are Live Simulation Exercises

Live simulation exercises are interactive, real-time activities where participants, using actual or simulated equipment and environments, respond to a realistic emergency, disaster, or crisis scenario to test and improve their organisation's preparedness, response plans, and operational capabilities. 

Unlike discussion-based exercises, live simulations create a dynamic environment with real-world conditions and unpredictable events called "injects," which force participants to apply their skills under pressure and gain valuable experience before a real emergency occurs.

Live simulation exercises offer benefits such as:

• Identifying and correcting weaknesses in plans and procedures before an actual crisis.

• Providing a safe environment for practice without real-world consequences.

• Enhancing teamwork and communication.

• Improving decision-making skills under pressure.

• Increasing participant confidence and competence, and reinforcing learning through immersive, realistic experiences. 

These exercises are crucial for preparedness in various fields, from healthcare to emergency response, and supply chain management, allowing for thorough evaluation and refinement of capabilities.
