April 2024: LSN Multi-Simulation Showcase
Watch the Multi-Professional Simulation Showcase on Youtube with chapter markers by clicking the image below.
Description:
This full-day showcase, presented by the London Simulation Network and hosted by UCLH, showcased the impressive developments in multi-professional simulation being made across the Network.
The overarching question to the showcase was:
How do we sustain multi-professional simulation based education?
The showcase had workshops, keynote speakers, poster presentations and more, sharing experiences of sustained innovation, changed practices or researched challenges from different organisations.
It shared innovations/ changes that have supported sustainability when delivering multi-professional simulations.
Presented examples of multi-professional simulation pilots or innovations that have made differences to workforce teams, patient safety and/or interprofessional education and how to sustain them.
Discussed strategies tried and challenges faced in order to make multi-professional simulations sustainable.
Gave the opportunities for organisations to network face-to-face.
And, celebrated the innovations and excellence within the LSN.
April 2023: Looking Inward to Improve – Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity in Simulation
Description:
This event, hosted by UCLPartners was held on 06/04/23 to discuss how equity, diversity and inclusion can be incorporated through healthcare simulation.
Eve Purdy – Emergency Medicine Physician and Applied Anthropologist at the Gold Coast University Hospital, Australia presented an EDI-SIM tool that’s been introduced in the Gold Coast and discussed the impact this strategy has had, and what the London Simulation Network can learn from this work.
