   229 Simulcast Journal Club October 2026

   Join us for the October edition of the Simulcast Journal Club, hosted by Vic Brazil and Ben Symon. This month: exploring how sim might address incivility in healthcare, how ‘positive deviance’ might help us understand sustainability ‘secrets’ for sim programs, more on ‘reality’ in sim, and an Editor in Chief offers expert thoughts on simulation scholarship. The October papers Ralston K, Rae V, Mellanby E, Hislop J, Tallentire V. Education that empowers: a critical realist evaluation of a novel incivility-focused immersive simulation. Adv Simul (Lond). 2026;11:23. doi: 10.1186/s41077-026-00413-2. Schram AL, Jensen RD, Gamborg ML, Purdy E, Lindhard M, Brazil V. Learning from positive deviance: a qualitative multisite study of simulation practice in paediatric departments. J Healthc Simul. 2026. doi: 10.54531/DHQQ7263. McConnell J, Wynn C, Clara A, Singh P, Carey J, Nicolaides R, et al. “My body thinks this is real”: a qualitative study of fourth year medical student perspectives on learning and realism in complex simulation. Simul Healthc. 2026. doi: 10.1097/SIH.0000000000000972. Harder N. The next conversation. Simul Healthc. 2026;21(4):e125–e126. doi: 10.1097/SIH.0000000000000958.

   228 Simulcast Journal Club September 2026

   Join us for the September edition of the Simulcast Journal Club, hosted by Vic Brazil and Ben Symon. This month: demonstrating clinical outcomes from simulation based team training, different ways of identifying latent safety threats, how data visualisations might aid debriefing, and using simulation to refine our research study protocols and processes. The September papers Gharib MT, Trbovich P, Tavares W, et al. Identifying latent safety threats through varied modalities: a comparative analysis. BMJ Quality & Safety. 2026. Video found far more latent safety threats, but debriefing surfaced a much higher proportion of critical threats. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjqs-2026-020128 Osborne A, Dix S, Echeverria V, Martinez-Maldonado R, Kiegaldie D. Nursing students’ perceptions of learning analytics visualizations in immersive simulation debriefing: A qualitative analysis. Clinical Simulation in Nursing. 2026;118:102044. Students thought visualisations of communication, movement and performance made debriefing more objective and reflective; while also raising familiar questions about technology reliability and assessment. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2026.102044 Schram A, Lauridsen KG, Krogh K, et al. Simulation-based Team Training Effects on Clinical Performance and Patient Outcomes: Systematic Review of Controlled Studies. Simulation in Healthcare. 2026. Simulation-based team training sometimes improves clinical and patient outcomes, but effects depend heavily on context, implementation and intervention design. https://doi.org/10.1097/SIH.0000000000000965 Coggins AR, Cho JE, Crayton H, Scott A, Kruit N, Oliver M. Emergency department eCPR: an exploratory observational study of human factors. BMC Emergency Medicine. 2026;26:233. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12873-026-01650-4 Happy listening! vb Also ….. coming up very soon – National Health Simulation Conference 2026.

   227 Simulcast Journal Club August 2026

   Join us for the August edition of the Simulcast Journal Club, hosted by Vic Brazil and Ben Symon. This was a throwback episode!  As part of celebrating our 10 years of doing the journal club together we decided to look back at papers from our first year of the journal club. The conversation is a recap of the articles, but also some thoughts on how they sit in the subsequent 10 years of simulation practice. The July papers Cheng A, Morse KJ, Rudolph J, Arab AA, Runnacles J, Eppich W. Learner-centered debriefing for health care simulation education: lessons for faculty development. Simul Healthc. 2016;11(1):32-40. doi:10.1097/SIH.0000000000000136. And our 2016 discussion here Peterson DT, Watts PI, Epps CA, White ML. Simulation faculty development: a tiered approach. Simul Healthc. 2017;12(4):254-259. doi:10.1097/SIH.0000000000000225. And our 2017 Debrief 2 Learn cross over podcast with Adam Cheng and Dawn Taylor -Petersen here Marshall SD. Helping experts and expert teams perform under duress: an agenda for cognitive aid research. Anaesthesia. 2017;72(3):289-295. doi:10.1111/anae.13707. The 2017 discussion on our third journal club podcast here Härgestam M, Lindkvist M, Brulin C, Jacobsson M, Hultin M. Communication in interdisciplinary teams: exploring closed-loop communication during in situ trauma team training. BMJ Open. 2013;3:e003525. doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2013-003525. Our 2017 chat on the same paper here . And a tangential link to closed loop communication training in veterinary simulation here 😊 Happy listening! Vb Also ….. Your next simulation conference – National Health Simulation Conference 2026. QT Gold Coast, Australia.  October 21-22 Registration open now - HERE
