Simulation training is increasingly used as an educational tool and can improve teamwork and safety culture. Set at two Danish hospitals, this study evaluated perceived safety culture before and after a four-day in situ simulation training emphasizing team training, communication, and leadership. After the training, safety attitudes improved, but the effect was more pronounced at the acute care hospital compared to the hospital handling mainly elective procedures.
