    The Poison Apple of Simulated Practice Learning - With Joelle Salje

    What happens when simulated practice learning stops being seen as the “poor substitute” for placement and starts becoming one of the most powerful tools in healthcare education?  In this episode Tony Jermy and Lawrence Hill are joined by Joelle Salje to unpack “The Poison Apple of SPL”. Drawing on Joelle’s pioneering work in simulated practice learning (SPL), this episode explores why simulation is not simply replacing clinical placement capacity, but creating entirely new opportunities for personalised, inclusive and emotionally intelligent healthcare education. From widening participation and diversity to learner-centred simulation design, this is a thought-provoking conversation for nurse educators, simulation faculty, practice educators and anyone interested in the future of healthcare training.   Links to papers mentioned in the podcast: Salje, J.

    Cleared for take off... The SPL revolution - With Lynsey McLeish

    What does it take to make simulation truly meaningful in healthcare education? In this episode of SimCast, Tony Jermy and Lawrence Hill are joined by Linsey McLeish, Head of Skills and Simulation Practice at Buckinghamshire New University, to explore Simulated Practice Learning (SPL), curriculum design, and the growing evidence base linking simulation to patient safety. Drawing on Lindsay’s unique background in intensive care nursing, aeromedical retrieval in the Royal Air Force, and higher education leadership, this conversation unpacks how simulation can move beyond technical skills training to develop communication, leadership, professionalism and clinical judgement.   From hybrid simulation models and virtual reality platforms to the hidden curriculum of teamwork, confidence and speaking up, this episode offers practical insight for simulation educators, nurse educators, healthcare academics and clinicians interested in designing impactful learning experiences. Whether you are curious about the future of simulated practice learning in nursing, integrating simulation into healthcare curricula, or how educational design can directly influence patient outcomes, this discussion is packed with ideas that challenge assumptions and push simulation practice forward.   #SImCast #Podcast #Simulation #HigherEducation #ClinicalSimulation

    The launch of a new sim journal - With Sophie Gardner and Aby Mitchell

    Explore the launch of a new, inclusive simulation journal designed to bring together the real-world practice of simulation across healthcare professions. In this episode, we are joined by Aby Mitchell and Sophie Gardner to discuss why this journal was created, how it differs from traditional academic publications, and why there is a need for a more practical, accessible home for simulation scholarship. The conversation explores the gap between valuable work happening in practice and what is often accepted in more traditional journals, particularly for educators, technicians, and clinicians whose insights may be highly relevant but not always framed as formal research.   We also discuss the realities of academic publishing, including rejection, confidence, collaboration, and the challenges faced by those trying to publish without strong institutional research support. The episode makes a strong case for a journal that is supportive, multidisciplinary, and interested not only in polished success stories, but also in the messy realities of simulation practice. It is a useful conversation for anyone involved in simulation who has ever considered writing about their work and wondered where it might belong.   https://www.magonlinelibrary.com/journal/sihe

    When simulation goes wrong...

    What happens when simulation goes wrong… before it even begins? In this candid and reflective episode of SimCast, we turn an unexpected error, forgetting to send a guest invitation, into a rich discussion on human factors, complexity, and the realities of simulation-based education. Drawing on real experience, we explore why error is inevitable in complex systems and how educators can reframe mistakes as opportunities for learning, growth, and system improvement. Using the SITE model (Space, Information, Team, Equipment), we unpack where and why things fail in simulation, from communication breakdowns to equipment issues and organisational pressures. This episode blends humour with critical insight, offering practical reflections for simulation educators, healthcare professionals, and anyone working in complex learning environments. #SimCast #SImulaiton #Podcast #ClinicalSimulaiton #HiugherEducation

    Simulation authoring in focus - Exploring iRIS - With Phil Purver and Alex Clark

    In  this episode of SimCast, Tony and Lawrence are joined by Phil Purver and Alex Clark from iRIS to explore a cloud-based scenario design and management platform that’s changing the way simulation is created, governed and delivered. From AI-generated scenarios to importing legacy Word documents and accessing a global library of over 1200 shared cases, iRIS is tackling the three pressures every simulation team recognises: time, quality and capacity. We dig into the live demo, governance safeguards, student-led scenario design, interprofessional collaboration and the bigger question of whether AI can democratise simulation without compromising clinical rigour. If you design, deliver or manage simulation, this episode will give you plenty to think about. - Learn more at the platform here: www.iris-sim.com- Phil Purver  - https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-purver-686254/- Alex Clark - https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarkalexandra/ #SimCast #Podcast #Simulation #HigherEducation #ClinicalSimulation
