Edinburgh, Scotland, 03-05 November 2024
Edinburgh – the seventh largest city in Great Britain, famous for its numerous annual events and festivals, in early November 2024 became the venue for an equally famous event in the world of medical simulation – The Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) Annual Conference.
The motto was: Transformative simulation. The 15th anniversary of ASPiH was also celebrated.
As the organizer emphasized, Transformative Simulation is a paradigm shift in simulation-based education which focuses on Innovation, Improvement, Interventions, Involvement, Identification, Inclusion and Influence.
As we enter our 15th year as the Association for Simulation Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH), we are moving into a new era where the focus of simulation practices in transforming patient and staff safety and experience is becoming the norm and not the exception.
The application of simulation to explore systems thinking, identify and analyse problems, influence organisational behaviours, engage patients and stakeholders, and collectively develop new innovative care interventions, is gaining momentum and evidence. These ground-breaking applications of simulation can be considered to be Transformative Simulation as they aim to Innovate, Improve, Intervene, Involve, Identify, Include and Influence the delivery and experience of healthcare, and enhance the practice of teams in health and social care settings. The emerging horizon of Transformative Simulation require a dedicated platform for the sharing of successes, local expertise, and experts to amplify their voices, fostering an environment where knowledge is not only shared but actively built upon and collaboratively expanded.
We extend a warm invitation for you to embed Transformative Simulation into your practices!
