Background
Simulation based education has an emerging prevalence across the globe. Initially pioneered by the airline industry, simulation is now regular used across a broad range of professions such as law enforcement (police forces), lawyers, teachers, and social workers and many more. It has increasing importance in educating healthcare professionals, particularly post pandemic where there is a shortage of student placements in some areas and governing bodies are authorising the replacement of practice hours with simulated practice.
This issue intends to show case some of the most contemporary research in the area, across a range of professions as well as highlighting examples of good practice and demonstrating case studies where simulation has been used in a new or innovative way.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Simulation as a pedagogy
Prebrief and debrief
Measuring the effectiveness of simulation
Planning and implementation of simulated learning sessions
