SIMULATION


The Treatment Room

What Is The Simulation?

The best way to think of the simulation is to consider it as a ‘test run’ or ‘mock up’ but without the actual treatment.

What Is Its Purpose?

The simulation has two main purposes:-

• to prepare you for your treatment
• to help us develop your treatment plan

What Happens During The Simulation?

Your simulation session will be divided into three parts:

• Making your mask and mouth piece
• Treatment program preparation
• A short talk with one of our doctors

When Do I Talk To The Doctor?

Often when you come for your first simulation, you will have a consultation with our doctor, who will be responsible for your care during treatment. If the consultant is not available at that time then a consultation will take place at the beginning of your treatment week instead. This talk is your chance to ask any questions or voice any concerns you have about the treatment. During this, if you have not done so already, you will also be asked to sign a consent form.
