Healthcare simulation has revolutionised the way medical professionals learn, practise, and perfect their skills. At the forefront of this transformation is the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH), a leading organisation dedicated to advancing simulation-based education across the United Kingdom and beyond.
What is ASPiH?
The Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) is the premier professional body for healthcare simulation in the UK. Founded to promote excellence in simulation-based education, ASPiH brings together clinicians, educators, technicians, and researchers who share a common goal: improving patient safety and healthcare outcomes through innovative simulation practices.
The ASPiH Portal: A One-Stop Shop
The ASPiH Portal serves as a comprehensive hub for healthcare simulation resources, offering members access to an extensive library of recordings, webinars, conference presentations, and educational materials. Whether you're a seasoned simulation educator or just beginning your journey in healthcare simulation, the portal provides invaluable insights from experts across various specialities.
Top Healthcare Simulation Recordings
From the extensive ASPiH library of over 300 recordings, we've curated a selection of 100 standout presentations spanning 2019-2025. These recordings represent the breadth and depth of healthcare simulation practice, covering everything from neonatal emergencies to mental health training, and from communication skills to surgical techniques.
