Unpacking the Offerings: What Awaits Healthcare Simulators?
The S3 Conference 2025 is meticulously structured to provide a rich learning and networking experience.
Pre-conference Workshops: Hands-on Skills and Practical Applications (3-4 November 2025)
The pre-conference workshops which offer healthcare simulation-focused skills training are invaluable for acquiring practical skills that can be immediately applied in your simulation practice.
For innovators and creators, “Basic Skill in Simulator Building, 3D Printing and Beyond” provides fundamental simulator construction and material integration techniques. Enhance realism with “Mastering Moulage: Elevating Realism in Medical Simulation”, a hands-on workshop for creating lifelike wounds and exploring time-saving silicone casting. The “Think, Print, Innovate: Sustainable 3D Printing Solutions for Healthcare Simulation” workshop explores how 3D printing can revolutionise simulation with cost-effective and customisable solutions.
Educators and facilitators can refine their expertise with the “Developing Essential Basics for Reflective Insights & Effective Facilitation (DEBRIEF)”, designed to enhance essential debriefing skills through theory and practical applications. Another workshop, “A Primer for a Performance-based Debriefing Method and Using the Debriefing Assessment in Real Time (DART) Tool”, introduces CAPE’s DART tool for objective evaluation, providing insights from high-risk fields and a complimentary toolkit.
Managers and strategists will benefit from “Elevate Your Simulation-based Training Programmes! Assess the Implementation Quality of Your Programmes Using an Implementation Rubric, the IQR-SIM” and how to use the IQR-SIM rubric to assess and enhance programme implementation quality. Additionally, “Using Simulation as a Process to Implement and Redesign Workflows” teaches practical techniques to optimize processes and improve efficiency.
