This two-day course introduces the essential principles of moulage for medical simulation, progressing from fundamental techniques through to more advanced injury effects and silicone applications.
Designed for healthcare and simulation professionals, the course focuses on creating realistic, effective and clinically relevant presentations for use with standardised patients and medical manikins. Participants will develop practical skills in selecting and using appropriate moulage materials and products, applying effects safely to both human skin and manikins, and creating increasingly complex injury presentations.
What You'll Learn:
Essentials of moulage – principles, preparation, materials, products and core application techniques
Safe and hygienic practice – appropriate working practices for applying moulage to standardised patients and manikins
Basic injury effects – including bruising, abrasions, lacerations, burns and other common clinical presentations
Colour and realism – understanding colour theory, skin tones, changes in skin pallor, colouration, depth and tissue appearance
Moulage application – practical techniques for efficient and realistic application to both human skin and medical manikins
Advanced trauma presentations – including open fractures, deep tissue injuries, full-thickness burns and multi-injury scenarios
Silicone techniques – introduction to on-skin silicone wound application and silicone 3D transfer techniques
Creating custom wound appliances – an introduction to moulding and producing simple, repeatable silicone wounds
Clinical relevance – using anatomy and mechanism of injury to inform realistic moulage design and considering realism, durability and practicality when developing moulage for medical simulation scenario
The course is highly practical, allowing participants to work with a range of professional moulage materials and products and apply techniques directly to standardised patients and medical manikins.
