Abstract
The first case of COVID-19 in Ireland was diagnosed on 29 February 2020. Within the same week, our Department of Anaesthesia and Critical Care at University Hospital Galway began to tackle the educational challenge by developing an in situ interprofessional simulation programme to prepare staff for the impending outbreak.
