    SkillShare

    What if students could borrow clinical skills equipment as easily as they borrow a library book? In this episode of The Sim Tech Podcast, Craig is joined by Sarah and Mary to discuss SkillShare—an innovative, student-centred initiative designed to give healthcare students greater access to clinical skills equipment outside of timetabled teaching and clinical placements. Together, they explore the educational challenge that inspired SkillShare, how students helped shape the project, and how a partnership with Library Services has created a scalable and sustainable model for independent practice. The conversation also covers the practicalities of running the service, the impact on student confidence and placement readiness, and what the future could hold for flexible clinical skills education. Whether you're a simulation technician, clinical skills educator, academic or healthcare educator, this episode offers practical insights into improving access to learning and supporting students beyond the classroom. In this episode: Why SkillShare was createdCo-designing the initiative with studentsHow the equipment lending model worksSupporting independent and peer-led practiceImplementation challenges and lessons learnedEarly student feedback and future plansIf you enjoy the episode, don't forget to follow The Sim Tech Podcast for more conversations on simulation, technology and innovation in healthcare education.

    The Immersive Board Game - Last Light

    In this episode, Craig and Sarah dive deep into Last Light, the immersive boardgame they designed together. Having now played it multiple times with different groups, they step back from the design table to reflect on how the experience actually plays out in the real world — what’s working, what’s evolved, and what continues to surprise them. They explore what it really means to call it an “immersive boardgame,” how it compares to other immersive formats like VR and escape rooms, and how players are interacting with the systems, story, and environment in unexpected ways. This is a candid, design-focused conversation about iteration, player behaviour, emotional impact, and the balance between mechanics and experience in Last Light. A reflective deep dive from the creators, after seeing the game truly come to life.

    The Actors Forge

    Episode Description – Spotify In this episode of The Sim Tech Podcast, Craig explores the role of professional actors in clinical simulation and how they can enhance realism in healthcare education. Joining the podcast is Dan from The Actors Forge, an organisation that works with a large network of professional actors supporting medical education and training. Their team includes over 100 active adult actors, a wider network of more than 500 performers, and 80 Teen & Young Adult actors who can support age-specific scenarios. Together we discuss how trained actors can support simulation through realistic and responsive role play, particularly in areas such as clinical communication skills, patient-centred care, human factors, and difficult conversations. We also explore the differences between professional simulated patients and internal staff role-play, how actors are trained for healthcare environments, and what simulation centres should consider when introducing professional actors into their programmes. Whether you're a simulation technician, educator, faculty member, or simply interested in how immersive learning experiences are created, this episode offers a fascinating look at the human side of simulation. Topics covered include: Training actors for medical simulation The value of realism in communication scenarios Supporting difficult conversations in training Integrating professional actors into simulation programmes Links & ContactIf you'd like to learn more about The Actors Forge or explore collaboration opportunities, links and contact information are available in the episode notes.
