SimCast Tony Jermy & Lawrence Hill

In this episode, Lawrence and Tony are Joined by Irfan and Hannah, two paramedic students who have just undertaken a peer-led Adult Life Support (ALS) simulation session. They discuss their experiences of learning and simulation at UEA, how working with different year groups provides both benefits and challenges and what they have learned from their simulation session #simcast #simulation #podcast

In this episode Lawrence and Tony are joined by David Aziz, director of placements for the Norwich Medical School. The three discuss what simulation means in the context of practice-based learning, whether simulation should replace clinical placements and how learning differs between experiences in simulation and those in clinical practice. Discussion takes a philosophical turn throughout and David also throws a curveball question to Lawrence and Tony right at the end of the episode, so keep watching for that one!

In this special episode Lawrence and Tony meet Floris Opal the lead patient simulator at the University of East Anglia. They discuss what simulation manikins get up to after hours, how different professions interact with the manikins and Floris' lofty ambitions moving forwards. #simcast #simulation #podcast

In this episode, Lawrence and Tony are joined by Lindsay Morgan and Charmaine Chandler who discuss their experiences of learning about simulaiton having recently attended the UEA Simulation Inscturctor Course.  They talk about pre-conceived ideas of simulation, what they learned and what they found most valuable about attending the course.

In this episode, Lawrence and Tony are joined by Karan Botsford who talks about her current research using the Guided Observing Learner Debrief (GOLD) Tool.  This tool has been designed to aid observers of a simulaiton event to structure a commentry around key areas of simulation activity to facilitate a richer peer led debrief experience.  They explore the rationale behind the tool, deisgn and implementation and look at some of the prelimarny data that has been gathered and discuss early findings.

In this episode Tony and Lawrence look at finding time to sim when you're a busy academic or clinician juggling multiple priorities.  They look at what problems you often encounter, areas that can be sacrificed and things that must stay and stratergies for survial to ensure we still provide a quality product.
