The last few weeks have been centred on selecting and preparing child actors for the upcoming paediatric trauma training. Bringing ‘high truth’ (fidelity) to trauma simulations by involving child simulated patients is important from so many angles PIER Network SimWessex

Great catchup with julie miller discussing the expansion of our transgender and gender diverse workshops. These ‘Illumination and Awareness’ sessions have been immensely impactful for students and registrants. The RCN Nursing and Midwifery Council ASPiH

Join us tomorrow for November’s #Simulation #JournalClub Author Annelies Lovink presents on “How simulated patients contribute to student learning in an authentic way, an interview study” 13 Nov, 10-11am Open to all aspih.org.uk/journal-club/ Article advancesinsimulation.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

‘Becoming Simulation Faculty’ was an excellent e-learning NHS England Workforce, Training and Education As an ASPiH accredited organisation, we felt it important to work our way through this training. Well done to the many creators!

Great discussions! Thanks so much Annelies Lovink for sharing this paper with us all. And thanks ASPiH for running these really well attended journal clubs.

Crucial when considering psychological safety is preparing actors for their sessions in healthcare education. Role portrayal, safety nets, audience mix are just some of the areas covered. Underlying this, are our ethical principles which align with the ASPiH standards.

Yesterday’s workshop was built around patient experiences & covered skills to support compassionate care: Recognising behaviours that lead to complaints; modifying actions to improve outcomes; active listening & empathy Jacqui Wilkinson Preceptorship HIOWHF Trust Hampshire and IOW Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Andrew Strevens
