Introduction
Simulation and immersive learning now play a central role in healthcare education. They allow trainees to develop clinical skills and decision-making in controlled, repeatable environments without risk to patients. As these technologies advance, demand for skilled simulation faculty continues to grow. These faculty members must design, deliver, and evaluate programmes effectively.
For higher education institutions and healthcare organisations, programme quality depends heavily on faculty capability. However, without structured development, even well-resourced simulation initiatives can fall short. Therefore, organisations must equip faculty with clear knowledge and practical frameworks. This ensures they apply simulation methods effectively and consistently.
To meet this need, the Becoming Simulation Faculty programme offers a comprehensive, CPD-accredited pathway. Specifically, it supports individuals and organisations seeking to build or strengthen simulation faculty expertise. As a result, teams can deliver high-quality simulation and immersive learning across multi-professional healthcare and education settings.
Developed by: This programme was developed by NHS England’s Technology Enhanced Learning team, drawing on contributions from simulation specialists with direct, practical experience of establishing and running simulation programmes across the UK health and care landscape, with elearning expertise provided by NHS England’s elearning for healthcare.
