Despite the use of in situ simulation in the emergency department (ED) for training staff to better manage critical events, little is known about how such training is experienced by patients in the ED during these simulations. We therefore aimed to explore ED patient knowledge and perceptions about staff training for emergencies, as well as their views about simulation generally, and in the ED setting specifically.
