Digital simulation in healthcare

Introduction

Simulation provides a safe space for learning and improvement, leading to better-prepared healthcare professionals and safer patient care environments.

This resource will help you develop an understanding of digital simulation and how it can enhance learning and clinical practice, not only through simulation but also through debriefing. As such, this resource is designed to explore the principles behind digital simulation, identify who benefits from participating in digital simulation, and evaluate the potential impact digital simulation has on patients and healthcare professionals. Additionally, it aims to develop an understanding of the principles of debriefing, in accordance with the All Wales Simulation-Based Education and Training Strategy for simulation.

Participation expectations:

The learner is expected to take time to read and explore the resources embedded within this material.

Throughout the course, learners will complete reflection tasks designed to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with digital simulation. These activities will also help learners consider how they might incorporate digital simulation into their work area.
