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.

181 Simulation Reconnect: the FOMO episode

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 

 

180 Advances in Simulation: Recommendations for embedding simulation in health services

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:

 

1. The concept of sim being embedded - why/ what contexts?

 

2. What do good 'embedded' sim services do?

 

3. 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.
