Healthcare Simulation Education Research Group (HSERG)
In 2007, a number of representatives from Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning with an interest in clinical simulation decided that they should explore opportunities for enhancing their individual impacts through collaboration. After an initial meeting to discuss areas of common interest, the group agreed that there was a need for a wider organisation which was focused on research into teaching and training using clinical simulation. The group recognised that there was a number of national priorities which were impacting on the use and adoption of clinical simulation as a means for facilitating learning including the European working time directive, shorter patient stays, increased patient safety, pressure on placements and modernising medical careers to name a few. It was also felt that current clinical simulation networks were focused more on the “doing” than on the research and that the group could offer something to the wider community by facilitating a network which focuses on robust research into the educational effectiveness of clinical simulation.
