Registration closes: 11th June 5pm

This year’s event goes beyond sharing practice. It’s an opportunity to connect our community around a shared direction – aligning the depth of expertise within SIGs with ASPiH’s strategic priorities for simulation as a recognised, coherent, and impactful field.

Through interactive sessions, SIG spotlights, and collaborative breakouts, participants will explore how their work contributes to workforce development, patient safety, and system-level initiatives – and identify where they can have the greatest impact moving forward.

Whether you’re part of a SIG or looking to get involved, SIGFest is your opportunity to connect, contribute, and help shape the future of simulation in health and care.
