OM DENNE EPISODE
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.
