About us

A faculty of clinicians, technicians and educators.

We are part of the Barts Health Education Academy, working across all five trust hospitals to build and run simulation-based training that changes how staff perform under pressure.

What we do

Simulation, from scenario design to debrief.

We design scenarios, brief and run simulation days, and train the trust's own staff to debrief well. Our work spans postgraduate crisis training, undergraduate teaching, induction for new doctors, and technology-led programmes using VR and part-task trainers.

Everything we run maps to a recognised framework — ANTS, Crisis Resource Management, ASPiH standards, or a royal college curriculum — so learning translates directly to practice on the ward.

Who's on the team

Simulation fellows

Doctors in training seconded to design scenarios, run sessions and lead debriefs alongside consultant faculty.

Consultant faculty

Senior clinicians across anaesthesia, emergency medicine and critical care who supervise and co-deliver courses.

Simulation technicians

Run the manikins, part-task trainers and audiovisual systems that make a scenario feel real.

Professional actors

Play patients, relatives and colleagues in communication-focused scenarios, following scripted briefs.

Our values

We deliver #WeCare in every session.

Barts Health's six values — Welcoming, Engaging, Collaborative, Accountable, Respectful, Equitable — shape how we brief candidates, run scenarios and give feedback. A good debrief is honest, but it is also kind.
