Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare

Formed in 2009 through the merger of the National Association of Medical Simulators (NAMS) and the Clinical Skills Network (CSN) the overarching goal of ASPiH will be to enable wider sharing of knowledge, expertise, and educational innovation related to simulated practice across the healthcare professions.

Aims

• provide an effective communication network for those involved in simulated practice in the UK and beyond
• provide quality exemplars of best practice in the application of simulated practice to education, training, assessment and research in healthcare
• establish key benefits and evidence of impact linking simulated practice with improvements in patient safety and quality of care
• develop and share key operational and strategic resources for members drawn from experience within the association and from links with relevant educational bodies nationally and internationally
• encourage and support scholarly development and recognition of members through wider dissemination of innovative practice at scientific meetings and publications

Membership

The association invites membership from all of those involved in the organisation and delivery of healthcare education, training and research using any forms of simulation and would encourage interested individuals to contact the secretariat.
