As a company that has first hand experience of this type of event, it is built into our recurrent training schedule so that we practice this at least once very 3 year cycle. We have guidance from Boeing regarding how to fly it and company guidance.

It's a challenging event although if you make it to the airport boundary you have a significantly higher chance of survival as a previous poster stated. Do not change gear or flap position, fly vref but not below, start the apu if you have time and try the relight. Inform cabin crew, ATC and then prepare for the touchdown.

It's great to see this done in the simulator as it helps with the startle factor and preparation of the crew for all eventualities!
