This A2A (Affiliate-to-Affiliate) Mini-Webinar, was organised in collaboration with the Society for Simulation in Europe (SESAM)​
Healthcare simulation has become an essential tool for improving patient safety — from training healthcare teams to testing new processes and systems before they reach real patients.
In this session, Prof. Freeman will share the latest developments in simulation and how it is being applied across a variety of healthcare settings. She will highlight how simulation helps overcome implementation barriers, foster collaboration, and build effective partnerships that drive safer care.
As Secretary of SESAM, the leading international society for healthcare simulation, Prof. Freeman will also introduce SESAM’s Communities of Practice. These networks bring together experts and practitioners to exchange knowledge, translate research into practice, and develop strategies that turn collective expertise into meaningful change for patients.
Through real-world examples, participants will gain insight into how simulation and collaboration can accelerate progress toward safer healthcare systems.
This event is reserved for EUPSF affiliates.
