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.
