Advancing simulation: Developments from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia
Thursday 11 October 2018 14:00 (BST)
Presented by: Prof Debra Nestel; Dr Hani Lababidi; Prof Abdulaziz Boker; Dr Vanda Abi Raad
This session takes a regional approach to the advance of simulation in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. The presenters will select illustrations of their repertoire of simulation-based education. We will hear of the development of an award degree for simulation educators (Lebanese American University, Beirut), a hospital-based simulation facility supporting all hospital staff (CRESENT, Riyadh) and a long established simulation centre meeting needs of undergraduate students and speciality trainees (King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah).
Making the implicit explicit: Theories informing simulation-based education – Part 1
Presented by Debra Nestel, Gabriel Reedy & Peter Dieckmann
Background: Theories inform educational practices in different ways. In these two webinars we will share our experiences with different theories in simulation-based education. We will present our notion of theory as a framework of ideas that are derived from, and resonate with educators’ worldviews.
The following theories and their application in simulation will be highlighted: Cognitive-based theories in designing simulations, Cultural-Historical Activity Theory in debriefing practices, ‘normative theory’ and its value in orienting educators to cultivate a disposition for learning, fidelity as a sensitizing concept in simulation design and practice and finally critical theory as a lens for simulation-based education design and implementation.
Aim: To examine the value of different theoretical perspectives on simulation design and application and to broaden our understanding about the educational foundations that support simulation as a robust educational methodology.
Who: The sessions address educators, who are interested in creating learning opportunities for their students that reach beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes.

Practice and research in healthcare simulation – a nursing perspective
Presented by Michelle Kelly
Friday 27th October 2017 14:00 BST (Brtiish Summer Time)
Incorporating simulation within nursing curricula or clinical services has led to a diversity of scenarios well beyond the routine CPR. Drawing on the lived experiences of clinicians, students as well as consumers a vast array of clinically focused topics have been repurposed into meaningful simulation scenarios. Whether a novice or an expert, attuning learners to noticing the salient features of a given situation in simulations helps them to discriminate multiple forms of input and prioritise responses. Drawing on research-based theoretical frameworks and successful initiatives, this webinar aims to trigger thoughts and ideas, and encourage participants to share their experiences in how to maximise the learning and impact of simulation for clinical practice.
The webinar is suitable for simulation practitioners of any discipline and any level of experience.
