Latest News
As ASPiH (Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare) celebrates its 15th anniversary at this year’s conference, there is an opportunity to reflect on how simulation has changed. Although simulation in healthcare has been around for centuries [1], it is really only in the past few decades that we have seen its legitimacy, integration into healthcare and education, and purposes become more established [2]. Recent growth has been exponential and with that has come further insights and opportunities to shape, refine, and advance simulation in all its forms for the benefit of all.
Welcome to the new Journal of Healthcare Simulation (JoHS). I’m very excited about our new identity supported by our experienced and trusted production team. I’m also proud that JoHS is the official journal of the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH), the United Kingdom-based professional society for simulation practitioners.
New Journal of Healthcare Simulation Launches with Debra Nestel as Editor-in-Chief
The healthcare community welcomes a new academic resource with the launch of the Journal of Healthcare Simulation (JoHS), now live at johs.org.uk. Following on from the success of the International Journal of Healthcare Simulation, this new publication aims to be a central hub for research, education, and practice in healthcare simulation, offering the latest insights into the use of simulation in healthcare training and patient care.
