Journal Article
How facilitators use healthcare students’ mistakes to promote reflections and discussions during simulation debriefings
Abstract Background Simulation-based training is increasingly used in healthcare education. It allows students to practice in realistic environments using high-fidelity patient simulators and to engage with complex or rare diagnoses without risking harm to real patients. During the debriefing…

Transfer of clinical debriefing from simulation to practice: exploring the barriers and enablers
Abstract Background Clinical debriefing (CD) positively impacts individuals, teams and systems and has been shown to improve patient outcomes and staff wellbeing. Although there is a growing evidence base supporting CD, it has not been routinely adopted by many healthcare organisations. Despite the…

Connecting data science and translational simulation
Abstract Translational simulation is designed to explore and improve healthcare systems and performance. But this potential can only be realised if simulation activities generate actionable insights, using methods that are efficient and cost effective. Robust data strategies are required, embracing…

Journal Article
Authentic roles matter: how in situ simulation influences fidelity, psychological safety, and learning transfer
Abstract Background In situ simulation (ISS) enables healthcare teams to test systems, identify safety threats, and strengthen interprofessional practice. Compared with off-site simulation (OSS), ISS may promote greater fidelity and transfer of learning. Cross-training, where participants adopt…
