The Ingham Institute Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre held a planning workshop on 11 July 2014 to commence the development of its inaugural strategic plan.

By 2020, the Centre aims to reach success through:

• research and teaching programs integrated and providing demonstrable improvements to patient outcomes
• improvement coming directly from the Centre's contribution to improved team-based, patient-based and evidence-based clinical practice
• research programs having expanded substantially
• a teaching program that is structured, strategic and incorporates care in community-based and primary care settings
• leading a major culture change in the District's adoption of simulation education
• networking with other simulation and skills centres in conducting research and forming educational partnerships
• diversification of its funding sources and establishment of a sound financial footing
• engaging effectively with the local community and developing a strong profile.
   

A working party has been established by the Governance, Planning and Management Committee which will work towards effecting some of the strategies developed on the day.
