Abstract

Distributed simulation (DS) refers to affordable, portable and accessible, self-contained immersive simulation. DS seeks to optimise the level of fidelity by selecting and recreating only the most salient features of a clinical setting that provide the key cues necessary for engaging participants and achieving the desired educational outcomes. A DS system comprises three main components: the simulation environment, the clinical props and the audio-visual control room. Building on DS, the concept of sequential simulation (SqS Simulation) frames clinical care as a sequence of interconnected events rather than a single episode. By selecting representative components of a clinical trajectory and linking them together, SqS Simulation invites participants to identify which components of a care pathway are critical for the objectives at hand. SqS Simulation can be used for training purposes but also allows care pathways to be viewed, challenged and remodelled as a collaborative endeavour.
