Friday 12th June, 09.15 – 12.30 (BST), Online
ASPiH SIGFest 2026 is taking place on Friday 12th June from 9.15-12:30pm: Connecting, Aligning, and Shaping the Future of Simulation
SIGFest brings together ASPiH’s vibrant Special Interest Groups to showcase their work, share expertise, and explore how simulation can drive meaningful change across health and care.
This event is free and is open to ASPiH members and non-members.
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.
