What I hope I got across was there can be quite a few unexpected spanners in the works; I hope I shone a light on some of them and made it clear that support is available for technical issues in Healthcare education across the UK, via the ASPiH Regional Tech Champions.

A fantastic first day at #simtechlive. Simulation technicians from all over the country coming together to share ideas, knowledge and experiences. Rounded off by a BBQ in the glorious British weather ☔ Thankfully we're making use of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity 🚁 covered garden area.

More than 60 attendees from over 50 Universities and NHS Trusts. 8 inspiring workshops. Two days of learning, connections, collaborations and fun. Sim Tech Live was a wonderful celebration of the hard work and dedication of simulation technicians. Thank you to our workshop

Definitely something to be proud of... Presenters at #SimTechLive had the pleasure of being interviewed by SimCast's Tony Jermy from School of Health Sciences This has given an extra dimension to the workshops as we can give them extra context. youtube.com/watch?v=BeuvMr…

My colleagues have been curious as to why there's a wall made of knock-off duplo on my desk, so I decided to turn it into an informative installation... With a warning. Science Museum Technician Exhibit, eat your heart out. #techniciansmakeithappen #techniciancommitment

Here's to giving technicians a chance. Thank you Sim & Skills I was worried my workshop would be lame, but it started more conversations than I had hoped for. Let's break those silos wide open! #simtechlive

At today's openday I'm enjoying talking to prospective students about the support and innovation my team provides to staff and students at the sim centre. Making cheap materials on mass, creating models that don't exist to purchase, maximising immersion. #techniciansmakeithappen
