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. Please see the benefits of ASPiH membership with respect to open access fees for JoHS.

Our editorial board members are largely well known to each other, and I am confident that these relationships will serve the healthcare simulation community well, as we support the dissemination of works to advance our field. Please see our article types for inspiration in planning your manuscripts.

We have a continuing publishing model rather than being issues based which means we publish articles as they are accepted. Already in our manuscript management system, we have some outstanding articles.

Follow us on social media to ensure you receive alerts. The success of JoHS relies at minimum on the dedication of the editorial board, of reviewers, of authors and of course our readers. I express my gratitude to all those contributing to JoHS.
