In this video from our March 2023 Airway Leads event, Dr Claire Woods discusses using simulation effectively in airway training. Claire's talk include innovative and low-cost methods to produce an immersive and effective training experience, from stage blood and bluetooth audio effects, to simulation apps and mental methods to improve performance and reduce error.

Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH)

ASPiH aims to promote and support simulation-based education and technology enhanced learning in the pursuit of best practice for patients, learners and partners.

ASPiH Standards guide simulation-based practice in health and care

Improving Quality through Simulation is a guide to simulation-based interventions to improve patient safety. It was produced through a collaboration between Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW), the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) and the Society for Simulation in Europe (SESAM).
