Simulation has been increasingly used in the delivery of undergraduate paediatric medical education in recent years, particularly in the context of managing acutely unwell children. We describe our methodology in delivering a simulation workshop within a resource‐constrained setting, defined as a clinical environment limited by time, clinical duties and access to appropriate space and/or equipment. An outline for the workshop is provided, with examples of relevant resources, to facilitate the development of similar simulation teaching in other centres. Preliminary evaluation of student feedback is presented, exploring the learning points encountered and aspects of the workshop that students found useful.
