The biggest gathering of Simulationists in the world
This year’s International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) was the 25th anniversary of the annual event, which featured 3 days of talks, workshops and presentations from ‘simulation champions’ from around the world.
This year’s theme, ‘Looking Back, Reaching Forward’ celebrated this milestone and focused on the latest innovations and best practices in healthcare simulation to improve patient safety.
In the exhibit hall, attendees walked through the ‘History Park’ which highlighted the key advances that have shaped healthcare simulation over the past 25 years.
It was another record-breaking year for IMSH:
🟡4773 attendees
🟡781 educational sessions
🟡150 companies exhibiting from 20 countries
Sim & Skills had the privilege of attending this year’s event. We got to speak to our international suppliers, see the latest simulation innovations and talk about the needs of the UK’s simulation industry.

IMSH daily news offers insights from all 3 days of the conference, so you can catch up on all the latest simulation developments.
Go mobile with SimEPR
SimEPR is the only interactive, educational training tool that develops the digital skills trainees need in clinical practice.
Trusted by over 20 NHS Trusts and Universities across the UK, the simulated electronic patient record system was the most in-demand product at the recent ASPiH conference, with attendees queuing up to see the software in action.
SimEPR allows you to build scenarios and create a whole ward of simulated patients so you can monitor the EPR activity of multiple trainees as they interact with patients.
Students can review medication, ePrescribe, request investigations, view, create and edit documents and recognise deterioration from electronic observations.
Now SimEPR is available as a mobile app thanks to feedback from Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. This addition reflects the changes happening in real healthcare settings, giving trainees the opportunity to develop their skills across all digital devices.
100% web-based, with no downloading or installation required, SimEPR is one of the most reliable simulation software solutions available.
