In this episode we sit down with two of the world's leading names in simulation, Professor Victoria Brazil and Dr Eve Purdy, to talk through more than a decade of their work that began with a monthly in situ trauma simulation at Gold Coast University Hospital and grew into the  groundbreaking and foundational research on translational simulation and relational coordination that now underpins modern simulation practice internationally.

We cover the origin of the Gold Coast trauma sim program, why trauma proved such a powerful platform for this work and how simulation evolved from an educational tool into a lever for team performance and systems improvement. Looking into the future we discuss the use of AI in simulation, and ironically, how low tech, visually enhanced mental simulation (VEMS) kits are actually proving to be highly effective simulation tools. We also talk about their new venture, Simulation Simplified, and how their VEMS kits have been incorporated into the new ETM Advanced Course.
