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.

Simulcast and Bond University hosted the Simulation Reconnect symposium at the end of November. last year. A great day of talks, networking and sharing our healthcare simulation experience. For those who could not be there (and for those looking for a little reminder of key points) – Jess and Vic offer you our Sim Reconnect FOMO episode.
Some highlights
- Vicki LeBlanc talked about emotions and simulation. More from Vicki on Simulcast here.
- Katie Walker and Ben Symon talked about ROI and demonstrating value and impact from our sim work.
- Ellen Davies gave us the Art and Science of designing recommendations for an organisation-wide simulation program. Our recent podcast with her here
- Zach Buxton helped us demystify 3 D printing for simulation educators.
- Ian Summers shared his “Confessions of a manikin addict”
Another nice summary of the day in IJOHS – thanks Liam McCollow
And finally …We are on again in 2024
Wednesday 27th November. Sim Reconnect 2024. Mark your diaries!
In the meantime, if you’re interested in writing…. An academic, educator or clinician who just wants to ‘write better’… Consider our Writers festival at Bond University Monday 18th March. More information and registrations here

Welcome to another “Advances in Simulation Edition”
In this episode, Jesse is (finally) back behind the mic to interview Ellie Davies and Victoria Brazil about their work and recent publication in Advances in Simulation.
Davies, E., Montagu, A. & Brazil, V. Recommendations for embedding simulation in health services. Adv Simul 8, 23 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1186/s41077-023-00262-3
We explore the background to this work and look to understand:
- The concept of sim being embedded - why/ what contexts?
- What do good 'embedded' sim services do?
- The recommendations.
The recommendation domains are: (1) governance and leadership; (2) human resources; (3) principles and planning; (4) operationalise and evaluate and (5) look to the future.
For more detail listen to the episode or head to Advances in Simulation in Healthcare to read the article.
You can find Ellie, Adam and Victoria on LinkedIn and also contact Ellie as the corresponding author of the article on Advances.

Teams and teamwork were the themes for our November Journal Club. In this special episode, Ben and Vic were joined by Eve Purdy to review four articles that took us on a deep dive into team science, team training using simulation and researching teamwork.
This is the first of a series on teamwork that we will be releasing over the next 12 months at Simulcast. Our motivation is to give simulation practitioners a deeper understanding of teamwork and to enable more nuanced conversations about team performance and improvement in the debriefing room and beyond. We want to go beyond simple concepts and buzzwords about teamwork.
Relax though, if you are not a teamwork nerd……in 2024 our Simulcast Journal Club will run every month with our usual eclectic mix of literature, and our teamwork thread episodes will be additional.
So, this month we embarked on the journey with some classics:
Rosenman et al. Changing Systems Through Effective Teams: A Role for Simulation. Academic Emergency Medicine 2017
Hicks and Petrosoniak. The Human Factor Optimizing Trauma Team Performance in Dynamic Clinical Environments. Emerg Clin N America 2018
Bolton et al. Revisiting Relational Coordination: A Systematic Review. Journal of Applied Behavioural Science 2021
Anderson et al. Understanding adaptive teamwork in health care: Progress and future directions. Journal of Health Services Research and Policy 2021
We also reflected on some great offerings from Eve and Ben with their talks on Relational Coordination and transactive memory systems at DFTB22.
Also – don’t forget – Simulation Reconnect is on again.
