Simulated Patient Methodology is a timely book, aimed at health professional educators and Simulated Patient (SP) practitioners. It connects theory and evidence with practice to ensure maximum benefit for those involved in SP programmes, in order to inform practice and promote innovation. The book provides a unique, contemporary, global overview of SP practice, for all health sciences educators. Simulated Patient Methodology:• Provides a cross-disciplinary overview of the field• Considers practical issues such as recruiting and training simulated patients, and the financial planning of SP programmes• Features case studies, illustrating theory in practice, drawn from across health professions and countries, to ensure relevance to localised contexts Written by world leaders in the field, this invaluable resource summarises the theoretical and practical basis of all human-based simulation methodologies.

Written by a leading team from the Australian Society for Simulation in Healthcare (ASSH), Simulation Australasia, Healthcare Simulation Education is a new resource for a rapidly expanding professional healthcare simulation community. Designed as a core reference for educators who use simulation as an educational method, it outlines theory, evidence and research relevant to healthcare simulation. Containing examples of innovations from around the world, the book offers opportunities to make clear connections between the underlying rationale for the use of simulation, and what this looks like in practice.Healthcare Simulation Education: Helps readers gain a systematic understanding of theory and application of simulationFacilitates access to high quality resources to support healthcare simulation education and researchEdited by a leading team from the Australian Society for Simulation in Healthcare (ASSH), the leading body for healthcare simulation in AustraliaContains information on educational theory, the elements of simulation practice and contemporary issues in simulationAn important text in healthcare literature and practice, Healthcare Simulation Education provides a unique cross-disciplinary overview of an innovative subject area, and is ideal for medical, nursing and allied health educators, policy makers and researchers.

This book provides readers with a detailed orientation to healthcare simulation research, aiming to provide descriptive and illustrative accounts of healthcare simulation research (HSR).  Written by leaders in the field, chapter discussions draw on the experiences of the editors and their international network of research colleagues. This seven-section practical guide begins with an introduction to the field by relaying the key components of HSR. Sections two, three, four, and five then cover various topics relating to research literature, methods for data integration, and qualitative and quantitative approaches. Finally, the book closes with discussions of professional practices in HSR, as well as helpful tips and case studies.Healthcare Simulation Research: A Practical Guide is an indispensable reference for scholars, medical professionals and anyone interested in undertaking HSR.

This practical guide brings together approaches designed for simulation-based education for the care of older adults. It fills a gap in the training for the care of older adults that working with Simulated Participants (SPs) can help to address. The book provides elements of best practice related to simulation methodology are synthesized with relevant clinical evidence related to caring for older adults. This book will be an invaluable practical resource for educators, academics, and other health care providers with diverse levels  of experience who work in health professions education and simulation training related to care of older adults. It offers support (guidance) to all health professions globally and is particularly pertinent to interprofessional practice. Users will gain the essential ingredients  to confidently implement a safe and effective geriatric simulation program with older adult SPs.

The second part examines a range of theories that inform surgical education – cognitive, behavioural and social, while the third part offers practical guidance on elements of surgical education – curriculum design, selection, feedback, assessment, evaluation, simulation and managing trainee underperformance.

This book compiles state-of-the art and science of health professions education into an international resource showcasing expertise in many and varied topics.
