Last week Dr Emily Browne from Staffordshire University gave a presentation to BU staff on Staffordshire’s educational framework for embedding simulation into teaching. The framework incorporates a 5 stage approach to support staff with incorporating simulation activity throughout the curriculum and to help improve staff confidence with the process.

Staffordshire University 5 Stage Approach

Students move up and down the continuum and are aware of which stage they are having each time. By their final year, students will mainly be taught at stage 4 where no facilitator is in the room and no one steps in to help. The framework started in healthcare within Staffordshire’s Centre for Health Innovation but has now been extended to other disciplines. All teaching staff at Staffordshire undergo the simulation training to achieve a baseline standard. Staffordshire also run short courses for external participants with their Foundations of Simulation training and welcome opportunities to collaborate with other universities such as BU.
