The pivot of simulation based education.
Episode 3
In this episode we take some time to share stories and reflect on how we all had to pivot in our clinical simulation based education roles in 2021. How and why did we do this? It is still relevant today as we all struggle to continue to prioritise education in the current healthcare climate. We talk about work imagined vs. work done in policy writing and how simulation can be a tool to explore this.

SimZones by Roussin & Weinstock (2017) Journal club & who are is SimNurseNZ?
Episode 1
In this episode you will get to know the âultimate tripodâ of healthcare simulation nurse educators from the Douglas Starship Simulation Programme.
They are: Erin Carn-Bennett, Marie Collinson & Alison Cartwright. What are our backgrounds?
Who used to be a volunteer firefighter?
Who was just jealous of setting up the simulations behind the scenes and so badgered till they could join in?
Who was it that has a background in hatching to dispatching nursing and what does that even mean?
This is a multidisciplinary podcast and although through the nursing lens all clinicians are welcome and there is something for everyone to take away. We also have Doctors as guests.
Once you have got to know us a little better we will talk to you about the Sim Zones article by Roussin and Weinstock (2017) and the impact it has had on our programme when us 3 started in our roles in 2019. You can find the article here: https://journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/Fulltext/2017/08000/SimZones__An_Organizational_Innovation_for.29.aspx
We talk about the three sim zones and break each down into how we utilize it within our clinical simulation programmes as well as what debriefing methodology we use for each.We talk about debriefing real life events and here is the link to the ACE (after critical event) review we use in our organisation which is freely available.
