Lyon is a city steeped in the history of healing. For centuries, pilgrims travelled to Lyon seeking care and refuge, and the city became renowned for its compassion and medical expertise. The Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon, founded in the 12th century, remains one of Europe’s most historic hospitals – a symbol of Lyon’s enduring commitment to patient care and medical innovation. Today, Lyon continues this legacy as a leading centre for life sciences, medical research, and healthcare education. It is the ideal setting for SESAM to gather and advance our mission: to ensure that simulation is at the heart of healthcare education, research, and patient safety.
