The next big thing in sim in 2025 will be…
What’s your prediction for simulation in the year ahead?
❓Use of AI in sim
❓Use of sim to work well with AI
❓Taking sim into new clinical areas
❓Use of sim in organisational learning
Raising a glass to all in the simulation community 🥂
2024 was a busy year and wishing health, fun and much sim in 2025

It’s beginning a lot to look like Christmas at @sim_brick !
Wishing all a peaceful Christmas period
See you all in the New Year
Simulation faces the ideological struggle of standardisation and neoliberalism - yet learning should be more liberal and learner centred. Remember - we are all on DIFFERENT learning tracjectories
Always aim to ‘Tailor sim’ for learners and ‘not one size fits all’

Psychological safety is a complex and multilayered construct.
It’s not a simple ‘bolt on’ but a carefully co-constructed phenomena
Fragile in nature; one wrong move can cause it to tumble

Good people of the simulation community. Just to let you know - @sim_brick is now also on Bluesky
@simbricks.bsky.social
Lots of shiny new AI applications in simulation.
Remember, AI not the answer to everything.
Make AI transform not just for the sake of

It’s Friday!
Time to close the laptops, power down the manikins and have a great weekend!
Thank you for all that you, the good people of the simulation community, do!
Thank you for being awesome 🙌🏽
The art 🎨 and science🧪of facilitation
More than controlling the physiology, facilitators need to control the pedagogy and learning in the moment.
Extending learners just enough to create the space to experiment & grow

Have a ‘spooky’ halloween good people of the simulation community and hope you put those moulage skills to ghoulish use 🎃 👻 🧙♀️
At @sim_brick we are big fans of @sim_podcast @SocraticEM @symon_ben
