In this, another joint feature with Advances in Simulation journal, we explore three main ideas: Why does simulation have such a symbiosis with culture? How to we understand more about this relationship? ie. there is nothing so practical as a good theory. What does can this teach us about targeting culture as a translational objective in a sim program? To answer these questions we stir in the ingr...

‘Non-technical skill’ is not a great term for the range of skills and behaviours we expect of our healthcare professionals. It also belies a not so subtle hierarchy of skills where ‘hard’, technical, ‘medical expertise’ are afforded primacy, sometimes to the detriment of our patient care.  Our latest collaborative podcast with Advances in Simulation features an editorial -  Words matter: towards a...

Another debriefing course! Who benefits?  Kristian Krogh, Albert Chan, and Nancy McNaughton    Many health professional educators attend courses on simulation debriefing, but do they actually perform better as simulation debriefers as a result?   Writing in Advances in Simulation,  Kristian Krogh  (@DrKrogh), Albert Chan (@gaseousXchange) and  Nancy McNaughton  (@uto_nancy) provoke us to consider...

This presentation was initially developed for a symposium in Dunedin in March 2018. We decide to reprise it, but instead of a presentation - Simulcast Live. Hope you enjoy and we'd love to here some of your lessons...

In situ simulation is increasingly popular for all the right reasons – highly realistic training with opportunities for team and systems testing. We’ve recognized there are risks, especially disruption of service and physical safety. But what about those patient and families ‘exposed’ to ISS? What do they think about it? What are their risks? And what should we do about it? Are there opportunities...

Jenny Rudolph interviews Victoria Brazil: Translational Simulation Since the start of the modern simulation era, many in the healthcare simulation community have taken a “Field of Dreams” approach to our simulation efforts, believing, like the character Ray Kinsella in the movie of the same name, that we “If we build it, they will come.” Often however, “buy-in” to simulation programs is just as di...
