At Sim & Skills we proudly facilitate conversations, highlight issues and give a platform to solutions that serve the continued improvement of simulation-based learning and patient safety.

That’s why we resonate so much with this year’s theme: Give to gain.

We know that when we give robust, representative training, we gain better outcomes in clinical practice. However, this is not the case for female representation in healthcare simulation currently.

So, this International Women’s Day, we’re reflecting on what healthcare gains when gender representation is commonplace in training. Below we’ve highlighted recent research and insights into lacking female representation in healthcare simulation, the detriment it causes, and how remedying this serves the betterment of clinical training and patient outcomes.

Healthcare is for everyone. Simulation should be too.

Precision matters in tube feeding and tracheostomy care - not just for passing assessments, but for patient safety and quality care.

Misplaced tubes or incorrect handling can lead to serious complications, but regular practice of these ‘blind’ procedures build confidence and competence.

With the NG Tube Feeding, Tracheostomy Care and Suction Trainer it allows learners to:

⚕️Master correct NG, OG and PEG tube placement and procedural competence

⚕️Confidently confirm safe tube positioning and recognise signs of misplacement

⚕️Uphold Infection control practice

⚕️Drill their accuracy and muscle memory to ensure patient comfort

⚕️Develop adaptability to varied patient positioning, fluid usage and tube placements

The BT Inc Tube Feeding, Tracheostomy Care & Suction Trainer lets learners practise a varied set of key EN tube skills — from NG/OG/PEG tube placement to suctioning and tracheostomy care — again and again in a realistic, safe setting.

Thinking about AI for communication skills training, but not sure where to begin? 👀

You’re not alone. AI training integration is a significant landscape shift in healthcare training and important questions are rising about how AI fits alongside traditional communication simulation, how realistic it really is, and whether it genuinely improves learning outcomes.

So, we’ve pulled together the most fundamental questions and answers about SimFlow.ai. Inside, you’ll discover:

👉 How AI simulations complement (not replace) traditional training.
👉 What makes AI patient interactions feel realistic and clinically relevant.
👉 How personalised feedback and assessment works within your curriculum.
👉 Ways educators are using AI to overcome scheduling, cost, and access barriers.
👉 How custom scenarios can align with your existing curriculum.

We’ve just scratched the surface. Want to go deeper?

Join our upcoming webinar to:

🎥 Meet the founder Dr. Jon Turvey, and SimFlow.ai advocate Dr. Chris Jacobs
🧠 See a live, in-depth SimFlow.ai demonstration.
💬 Ask your questions during live Q&A.

IV injection is a staple skill in healthcare settings, a basic but pivotal step for assessing patient conditions and delivering essential fluids and medicines.

Like all healthcare procedures, practice is key so here are 3 ways Puncture Pete can enhance your IV training 👇

💉 Multiple veins and arm articulation positions gives you full training capacity, difficulty levels and scenarios – if you see a vein, you can puncture it!

💉 Hyper-realistic skin features and soft, durable silicone mean repeatable, fidelity driven IV practice.

💉 Replacement skins can be changed in minutes, vessels stay in place, and 15-second fluid priming purges all air bubbles from the system so nothing slows your training session down.
