We are delighted to share this recent publication from Dr Gareth Drake (from the GOSH Simulation Team) and Dr Kate Drewek (previous Simulation Fellow at GOSH).

The article “ I Hate Sim!”—Using Psychotherapeutic Concepts to Help Educators Attend to Challenging States of Mind During Simulation Prebriefs- outlines the theoretical development of an approach to simulation prebriefing that has been adopted at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in recognition of the fact that many educators struggle with anxious or reticent learners during simulation. The article pulls together current best practice guidance on prebriefing before exploring key concepts which can be applied to simulation practice to help engage reticent learners while enhancing psychological for learners and educators alike.
