Lead Trainer
Jo Salter
Jo wants to see medical simulation training taken to the next level. It’s no longer good enough to “pretend”, it’s time to make medical simulations realistic and enhance the learning experience so people are ready to do the job they are training for.
When Jo originally enlisted in the Army as a military medic, training consisted of placing a photo of a wound on a lifeless manikin. This was how she was supposed to learn to save lives. She’ll be the first to tell you that it is not good enough. Jo's operational experience has proven there are no second chances when it comes to front-line medicine. Training needs to be done to the same level as the real thing, to ensure the best outcomes in the field.
That’s where Clinical FX comes in. Jo is a qualified Moulage Technician with over 20 years’ experience as a military medic. She holds a Bachelor of Nursing, Diploma in Pre-Hospital Care, and a Cert IV in Training and Assessment. This means Jo can turn a medical scenario into an environment real enough that you will need to debrief afterwards. As a trainer Jo is the one you always remember. You can’t hide in the background when Jo is in the room. Yes, Jo expects absolute commitment, but in return she’ll give you the best training she can.
Trust me, you’ll enjoy it!
