SimCast Special - The UEA Simualtion Instructor Course Episode 1 of 6 In this episode we will be discussing What is Simualtion Based Education (SBE). By the end of the episode you will be able to achieve the following learning outcomes: - Define what is SImulation Based Education - Describe common simulation modalities - Explain the Simulaiton Based Education process References Gaba, D. M. (2004)....

In this episode Tony and Lawrence reflect on the UEA simulation instructor course; an in house training programme designed to help academic staff at UEA develop the skills required to deliver simulaiton based education effectively. Stay tuned for a special announcement at the end of the podcast!

In this episode Lawrence and Tony use Chat GPT to generate two A.I. generated healthcare simulation scenarios.  They discuss what Chat GPT suggested as a scenario, the benefits and limitations of using the programme and unpick Lawrence's existential crisis as to whether or not robots are going to take over the simulation world!

In this episode we talk about debrief and specifically how certain archetypes of facilitator can derail a debrief.  We are calling these our four horsemen of the debrief apocalypse: 1. The Groupie - 03:15 2. The Critic - 07:40 3. The Tutor - 18:00 4. The Hero - 22:40 If you think you've fallen foul to one or more of these horsemen before, we'd love to hear about it in the comments below.  Likewise...

In this episode we are joined by Jason Corner who talks to us about his experiences running a large scale critical incident day for final year nrusing students at the Univeristy of East Anglia.

In this episode we are joined by special guest Joe Ellis-Gage who talks to us about his experiences of integrating clinical simulation into pre-registration nursing curricular at UEA Norwich.

In this Episode we take alook around the Edith Cavell Building simulation centre. Built in 2006 the Edith Cavell Building (ECB) was originally the school of Nursing and Midwwifery and served as a general purpose faculty building for healthcare students at UEA.  In 2021 the building underwent a £1.6 Million redevelopment project to transfrom it into a cliinical skills and simulation centre.   Learn...

In this episode we talk about the creation and use of the UEA debriefing tool.  We talk about the concept of the design, the symbolism invovled and how it can be used to help simulation facilitators guide a debriefing conversation.  We also disucss some of the personal challenges we have faced when facilitating a debrief and how we overcome these. Please find a link to the UEA debriefing tool belo...

In this episode we explore what we mean by safety in simulation.  Simulation is often considered to be "safer alternative" to clinical practice, but is this always the case?  We explore safety from the perspective of the patient, the learner and the simulation facilitator...

In this episode we talk about how to plan for simulaiton using the SHELL model: SOFTWARE - Learning outcomes, session design, Information to be sent to facilitators and learners etc. HARDWARE - Ordering correct equipment and working with the tech team to make your sim a success. ENVIRONMENT - Physical space you have to deliver the sim, considering the limitations etc. LIVEWARE (Others) - What othe...

In this episode we will be exploring what simulaiton instructors need to consider when planning and delivering simuilation for the first time.  We discuss different techniques that can be used, particualrly for those who may not be too tech savvy. If you have any good examples of using good simulation technique to overcome technological challenges, please share your thoughts and experiences in the...

In our first SimCast episode we talk about our journey of developing a simulaiton centre and the challenges we faced along the way.
