Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility, design requirements, and educational role of establishing a multiprofessional clinical skills resource center.
Conducted an 18-month needs assessment and feasibility project assessing clinical skills education.
Collected qualitative observational data through site visits to 12 established clinical skills facilities across the UK alongside stakeholder consultations.
Identified that clinical skills centers provide safe, structured learning environments that reduce trainee anxiety and protect patients from novice procedural practice.
Determined that facilities support diverse competencies, including communication, informatics, and multiprofessional training, serving as an effective adjunct to, though not a replacement for, authentic bedside experience.
