Simulating ICU transports to determine lift sizes. Meta-debriefing, clinical debriefing in operating theatres, and supporting psychological safety. Another great episode on Simulcast journal club to close out 2024. We’ll be back in February 2025!

And, for bonus holiday viewing… also check out Ben Symon’s brilliant talk at the Victorian Simulation Alliance on the importance of algorithm design in healthcare and how simulation can help.
