The IPL through sequential simulation resources support the facilitation of IPL tutorials for health students and health professionals. Most simulated learning interactions involve a single interaction between a health professional and a patient. Sequential simulation follows a patient's journey beyond this interaction, through the healthcare system. Each resource consists of two components: audiovisual case studies and a facilitator manual which can support an IPL tutorial.
