Background:  Medical error continues to significantly harm patients, notwithstanding the continued efforts to improve the situation over the past decade. We report a pilot project using high‐fidelity simulation to integrate the World Health Organisation (WHO) patient safety curriculum into undergraduate medical education.

Methods:  From the literature on avoidable medical error we developed a series of authentic clinical scenarios using a Clinical Skills Lab (CSL) and simulated patients to produce a high‐fidelity simulated ward environment. The clinical challenges embody common day‐to‐day encounters experienced by newly graduated doctors. After participating, final‐year medical students were given time to reflect on the experience, given feedback and completed a quantitative evaluation.

Results:  Twenty final‐year medical students completed the scenarios, and gave written feedback using a Likert scale …
