This week's podcast takes a slightly different approach as Tony and Lawrence discuss how they make SimCast. The pair talk about the pre-planning that is required, recording the episode itself and what happens after in post production.

Tony and Lawrence have a big announcement to make... Make sure you tune into the episode to find out more...

In this episode, Tony and Lawrence are joined by Dr Jordan Tsigarides. Jordan, who's PhD is in the use of VR for therapeutic uses, tries to convince our skeptic hosts about the benefits of VR in simulation and gives us a glimpse about what the future might hold...

In this video Tony and Lawrence are joined by Dr Mohamed Nasaif and Boubaker Ayadi-ben-latif who discuss setting up an in-situ simulation programme across the Emirates Health Service. In the episode the panel discuss how the innovation was born through the COVID-19 pandemic and how the programme has gone from strength to strength since.

In this episode, Lawrence and Tony lose their cool and vent about the things in simulation that really get on their nerves! No one is safe as the pair of moaning minnie's complain about everything from faulty kit, to using simulation to try and fix all of the world's problems...

This week the SimCast team are joined by Kate Denning and Kevin Mackie who are talking about changes to the Generic Instructor Course (GIC), an internationally renowned programme for developing instructors for life support training across a wide range of sub-specialisms.

In the episode the panel discuss some of the main changes made to the GIC, as well as things that needed to stay and some of the challenges faced along the way. They look at the underpinning educational principles, a shift towards learner centric facilitation and how the model needs to be replicated at scale whilst still retaining high quality at all times.

If you're a life support provider or instructor you won't want to miss this episode!

The last in our 4-part mini series of top 5's based around the UEA SITE model sees Lawrence and Tony discuss their top 5 equipment choices for simulation. Some choices are obvious, others not so much. Stay tuned to see what clinches the number 1 spot for each of our presenters.

Tony and Lawrence work through another top 5, this week concentrating on the people behind simulation with their top 5 team members. The duo look at their list slightly differently which makes one of them reconsider their choices...
