Simulation & Modelling ExampleThe Simulation and Modelling in Medicine and Surgery (SiMMS) Research Group brings together researchers in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine and Surgery to construct suitable models and simulations of clinical processes, including clinical examination, clinical diagnosis and interventional procedures.

We employ mathematical, computer and system modelling techniques to describe, study and recreate clinical processes through simulation with the aim of enhancing our understanding, facilitating learning, optimising resources, and contributing to the improvement of patient care and patient safety.
