SIMULATION
Medical simulation is today the gold standard in the training of students, professionals and healthcare teams. Medical simulation effectively promotes the dissemination of good practices and the optimization of clinical performance, allowing the incorporation of technological innovation in clinical practice without risk for patients and professionals.
The unfathomable value of human life and, consequently, of health professionals training, is the motivation for the creation of a major simulation center in the new area of Hospital da Luz Lisboa, to open in 2018.

Translational and clinical research is increasingly essential in preventing disease and improving health care. At Luz Saúde, researchers in severable clinical areas contribute daily to improve prevention, diagnosis and quality of care. The Clinical Research Center of Hospital da Luz Lisboa is the structure that supports local teams of professionals who want to conduct clinical investigation.
