About the Simulation Faculty Development programme
These resources are available to assist with Simulation Faculty Development and education. The individual modules can be used on their own to increase knowledge for instance as CPD of those with simulation-based education roles or as prelearning before face to face sessions. Additionally the elearning modules can be used together as prelearning for an introductory level faculty educational focussed session.
The recently developed Simulation-based Education Design Toolkit features videos and developmental resources including the Integrated Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning (ISTEL) Design Framework worksheet, example scenarios and workshop activity cards. These resources promote discussion around inclusivity, scalability and sustainability of simulation and technology enhanced learning in healthcare. Learning is consolidated through the completion of exercises and reflections contained in an editable and printable workbook, which may be used as evidence of continued professional development (CPD).
About the modules
In addition to the 6 modules within the programme, a face to face session is delivered to develop skills however the modules may be used to support other relevant sessions.

An Introduction to Human Factors and Patient Safety
An Introduction to Human Factors and Patient Safety
This is an introduction to Human Factors and patient safety. It covers clinical error cognition and human behaviour. The aim of this module is as pre-reading prior to face to face simulation sessions; it has also been used for induction training. The module is multi-professional in its focus.
Introduction to Human Factors
The following film was developed to provide a brief introduction to principles of human factors and implementation in healthcare. It is designed to help those working in healthcare understand the basic principles of human factors and implement changes to improve patient safety. Dr Rob Galloway is a Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Brighton and Sussex University Hospital NHS Trust and offers extensive training at the Trust in human factors. Dr Cassie Lawn is a Consultant Neonatologist at Brighton & Sussex University Hospital NHS Trust Trust and is lead for human factors at the Trust.
