Thanks to all who made the 2025 Scottish Simulation SIMPosium a great success: Everyone who attended, presented, created posters and worked behind the scenes. A special thank-you to @sim_brick for his excellent keynote. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SIMposium2025 @aberdeenuni @AbdnLifeScience

Thx @sim_brick -sharing @UNMC_iEXCEL @SSHorg #MedEd
IT/Electronic care records are now some of our most important ‘clinical tools’ How well have we intergrated them into our simulation centres? We would love to hear your experiences

Word to the wise In transformational simulation - remember it’s not the ‘simulation’ that makes the change, people do #AgencyEmpoweredBySim

Thank you for sharing this, @sim_brick 🙌 Excited to see the conversation around impostor phenomenon continue. It's such an important topic in simulation and beyond. Looking forward to hearing thoughts from the community! #impostorphenomenon

Since we’ve started - we have hidden the identity of ‘Bricksy’ (The ‘Banksy’ of the Lego world). Should we identify who Bricksy is? Who do you think it is? More than one person?

Was just reflecting on this from a faculty perspective with @GetCuriousNow in preparation for a workshop in @SESAMSimulation … will share on X after next weeks conference …

Simulation has the risk of rendering lived experiences of illness invisible. It should be a given that we include lived experience in our sims. Not tokenistically but in a meaningfully way @LisaTMSA @houton_paula @banaltra_glas @jacquivieenrose @DebraNestel @uto_nancy

Simulation can evoke a stress response in learners. Remember, we all respond differently to stress #PolyvagalResponse Simulation facilitators need to be aware of this & support all types of responses. Helping individuals expand their window of tolerance can promote learning

Love this 💞 Psych safety at the forefront always. Connections, storytelling, pre briefs. Safe debriefs-as much as poss. Just allowing people to be as they are in sim. Zero judgment or assumptions. Allowing safe reflective spaces. Loving the learner. Curiosity. Always learning

I’m simulating I know how to run an Emergency department despite the pressures face on a day-to-day bases… I’ve been doing this scenario repeatedly for the last 8 years & still not sure I got it right….😬 #tiredemconsultant #notenoughcoffeeinthe world
