For the past 5 years I have very proudly been working for the NHS at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust in the department of Simulation and Human Factors. This involves working in a samll team to deliver multiprofessional simulation training for all greades of staff using high fidelity manikins in a variety of recreated settings. It also involves making training and awareness films for the Trust and for use more widely within healthcare and other services across the UK and internationally. 

Our most suffessful film to date is 'Make or Break; Incivility in the Workplace' withover 39K views on Youtube.

In 2020 I was comissioned by the Epsom and St Helier Palliative Care team to create a video that would, due to the pandemic replace the in person 'Time to Remember' event they hold each year to remember loved ones that have been lost. You can share and view this video here.

Human Factors involves the interaction of humans with technology and systems. All of our work contains human factors elements and we use a specific 'Daimond' model for debriefing training scenarios. I recently became acredited in being able to deliver this style of debriefing. 

Our simulation centre based at Epsom General Hospital was the first in the South East to receive acreditation by the Association of SImulation Practitioners in Healthcare in 2019

Since working in Simulation and Human Factors I have given presentations on various ascpects of film making for education as well as exploring the role of creativity in simulation.

You can hear the my podcast on Creativity meet Simulation for the London Simulation Network here.

I will soon be presenting at ASPiH on 'Simulation as Immersive Theatre'
