In this episode Tony and Lawrence dive into the world of Bloom’s Taxonomy — but with a twist....

You’ve probably seen learning outcomes like “Students will understand…” or “Learners will evaluate…”. But in the world of a simulation, do those verbs actually mean anything?

Join us as we explore:
• Why traditional Bloom’s verbs fall short in simulation and clinical training
• The real problems with vague or passive learning outcomes
• A revised taxonomy of simulation-friendly verbs
• How to avoid educational jargon that confuses more than it clarifies

This episode is packed with practical examples, verbal rants (the good kind), and tips for writing learning objectives that are real, measurable, and meaningful.

In this episode, we shine a spotlight on the often overlooked but absolutely essential role of the Simulation-Based Education (SBE) Technician.

Joining us is Josh Johnson, Senior Simulation Technician at the University of East Anglia. With a background in musicology and a passion for both creativity and technical excellence, Josh shares candid insights into his unique journey into healthcare simulation and what it truly means to be an SBE Tech.

This episode not only celebrates the indispensable contributions of simulation technicians but also critically examines the systems, expectations and real-world challenges they face. If you’re involved in healthcare education, simulation design, or workforce development, this episode will be perfect for you.

In this episode hosts Tony Jermy and Lawrence Hill are joined by Mark Ridgeway, Simulation Lead at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. Together, they dive into the realities, challenges and opportunities of delivering high-impact simulation within a large NHS Trust.

Using the S.I.T.E. model (Surroundings, Information, Team, and Equipment) Tony and Lawrence guide the conversation through the practical framework they’ve developed to help structure and analyse effective simulation design.

Whether you’re new to simulation or leading a programme yourself, this episode offers honest, practice-based reflections on what it takes to embed simulation into the fabric of NHS education and clinical practice.

In this episode, Tony and Lawrence are joined by Nathan Conradie, founder and CEO of Proficien, a company that uses digital solutions to enable healthcare professionals and providers to monitor skills proficiency. Nathan discusses his novel approach to this by assigning skills 'currency' which fluctuates in value depending on how current the individual is in a given skill.

In this episode, Lawrence and Tony are joined by Jake Rahman, founder of the simulation collective and host of between two simulators in association with SimZine Magazine. In the episode Jake talks about being a small fish in the big pond of commercial simulation and how this affords him the flexibility to be agile and work with smaller companies to bring simulation solutions to the people that need them.

In this episode, Tony and Lawrence speak with Carolyn Cleveland, founder of C&C Empathy Training Ltd (CCET). With a background in counselling and psychology (and shaped by deeply personal experiences) Carolyn brings a powerful, human-centred approach to empathy, resilience, and emotional awareness. In the episode we explore how empathy can be used genuinely in simulation, whether it is possible to measure empathy and how we can use empathy to become better educators.
