Why this course: Are you looking at starting to build the skill set required to deliver simulation to healthcare professionals? This course will introduce you to the importance of debriefing, including giving you the opportunity to practice, and understanding of the roles required to deliver simulation. No experience is required but completion of the e-learning for health modules in simulation prior to the course is essential. This course is part of a wider programme that will also include mentorship opportunities post course.
Course Outline: Full day of Lectures and hands on workshops:
> Principles of simulation and roles required to deliver
> Why do we pre-brief?
> Practical debriefing
>Designing a simulation scenario

Introduction to SEIPS for PSIRF
Friday 21st November 2025 - 09:00-13:00
Via MS Teams
£200 (plus VAT) per person
3 CPD points
The systems engineering initiative for patient safety (SEIPS) is a framework to help us to analyse and understand work processes and outcomes within the complex adaptive environment of healthcare. SEIPS is one of the preferred human factors frameworks in the NHS and has been incorporated into the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF).
SEIPS offers a number of tools to support safety incident investigations, and this interactive, introductory course will focus on using SEIPS to:
- support learning and improvement following a safety incident in the immediate aftermath of an incident or for a more in-depth patient safety incident investigation
- improve engagement and support for patients and their families after a safety incident
- improve support for staff involved in safety incidents
- understand system factors influencing the evolution of a safety incident
- inform system design
- design action plans
