Simulation faculty development day
This dynamic day of simulation-focused education is designed to support and inspire simulation faculty across all disciplines.
Aims and learning outcomes
This all-day workshop, part of the pre-ASPiH annual conference programme, is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction for new or future simulation faculty. It will feature presentations, discussions, and interactive workshops. As a participant, you should expect to do the following:
- Develop your ability to deliver simulation-based education as part of an interprofessional faculty team
- Apply principles of quality assurance to improve simulation
- Discuss how to handle difficult simulation situations
- Develop your debriefing skills to support psychologically safe simulation
- Learn more about the wider work being done in this area and connect to your peers.
Target audience
This session is appropriate for anyone working in, or supporting, anaesthesia as part of an interprofessional team.
This session at the ASPiH conference builds on that work to support simulation in anaesthesia, connect practitioners to each other, and develop the next set of simulation faculty leaders.
10.00 - 11.00 Interprofessional education
Interactive lecture followed by Q+A. Learning outcomes:
- Discuss the application of key standards and recently published articles of relevance for the design and delivery of interprofessional simulation.
11.30 - 13.00 Quality assurance in simulation
Introductory presentation and workshop. Learning outcomes:
- Exchange perspectives within similar areas of simulation practice
- Reflect on elements of quality assurance essential in simulated practice, and access new tools and templates.
