192 IPSS The Podcast with Erin Carn-Bennett

We welcomed Erin Carn-Bennet to the podcast for a conversation about her new venture – as coproducer of IPSS- The Podcast 

Erin is a Simulation Nurse Educator for Douglas Starship Simulation Programme, Lead host Sim Nurse NZ podcast, Co-founder Sim2Lead, Content Coordinator and Writer for HealthySimulation.com, Nursing Director Med Sim Solutions 

The International Paediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) is a global community of multidisciplinary paediatric focused health professionals from over 30 countries, working to improving the care of infants and children worldwide through multi-disciplinary, simulation-based education, training, and research in paediatric simulation 

IPSS host a resource rich website, run events and an annual conference. Now they’ve decided to start a podcast! Erin is joined in that venture by Samreen Vora, Christine Bailey, and Elaine Ng. 

Erin and Vic talked about the work of IPSS and the aspiration of the podcast to support that mission. 

The first episode is out, and you can listen on Spotify here.

190 Advances in Simulation - Indirect Communication With Taryn Taylor

Taylor, T., Columbus, L., Banner, H. et al. “The patient is awake and we need to stay calm”: reconsidering indirect communication in the face of medical error and professionalism lapses. Adv Simul 9, 17 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1186/s41077-024-00293-4 

 

We know that speaking up is good for patient safety, but hard to do, and that training may not be effective in altering behaviour in the face of hierarchy and cultural barriers. In this article, Taryn Taylor and her research team suggest that indirect, subtle challenges are less well understood and may have more value than we’ve appreciated. And maybe patent presence might be an important influence on this behaviour? 

Taryn Taylor is an OBGYN and simulation practitioner and researcher. She is assistant professor of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Western University in London Ontario Canada, a graduate of the Uni Ottawa Simulation Fellowship, and has a PhD in Health Professions Education from Maastricht University. As a researcher, most recently she’s focused on using sociological fidelity in simulation to explore the complex social dynamics in healthcare teams that impact care delivery and patient outcomes. 

The article is a methodological masterclass, showing us how to create ‘sociologic fidelity’ to allow research of these complex relational phenomena and how to use this ‘simulation primed elicitation approach’ to collect data. 

The findings are unsettling but important! Even in the face of error and lapses in patient safety, the communication remained indirect, subtle, and sometimes non-verbal. Study subjects described quite problematic assumptions about their teams, that we must recognise to advance work in this area. 

Taryn helps us get the story behind the study and we reflect on how this might translate to a broader educational agenda.

188 Simulcast SESAM 2024 Wrap

Vic and Ben reflect on their time at SESAM 2024 in Prague.  

We were pleased to release this episode in conjunction with Laerdal’s One Million lives podcast  

SESAM is the Society for Simulation in Europe. Their vision is “improved healthcare through simulation. Enabling safe, patient-centred care delivered by a competent and confident healthcare workforce in a well-functioning healthcare system”. The 2024 conference in Prague drew more than 1000 attendees from 63 countries. 

Our highlights included  

1. A brilliant keynote from Lisa Brogaard and Tanja Manser on their research program on nontechnical skills in maternity resuscitation teams. Example articles here and here 
2. A research update from Gabe Reedy and Michaela Kolbe (EIC and Senior Editor at Advances in Simulation). This included a focus on the SiREN network within SESAM. 
3. The announcement that Advances in Simulation now has an Impact Factor – its 2.8 ! More on Impact Factor here.
4. Another excellent keynote – from Prague based journalist and science communicator Daniel Stach
5. Exhibitors and industry updates
6. Great short communications - including an update from Jo Park Ross and Marvin Jansen from Capetown, SA, talking about their SHARE initiative - Simulation in Healthcare for African Research and Education. ‘fostering fairness, equity and diversity in research’  http://blogs.uct.ac.za/SHARE/
7. Our VEMS (Visually Enhanced Mental Simulations) workshop – with Ben’s new resource for VEMS delivery here  

Next year – SESAM is in Valencia Spain June 2025!

186 Advances in Simulation: Translational Simulation Revisited

In our latest Advances in Sim collaborative episode, we explore how translational simulation has evolved in the last 6 years.  Ben interviews the authors of “Translational simulation revisited: an evolving conceptual model for the contribution of simulation to healthcare quality and safety”, Prof Gabe Reedy and our own Prof Victoria Brazil in order to explore their new paper.  Together we discuss how the concepts of Purpose, Process and Conceptual Foundations underpin the strategic design and delivery of projects using translational sim.
