Overview

The Simulated Practice Education course from the University of West London develops practical skills in simulation pedagogy, digital technologies, and human factors, supported by hands-on opportunities to design and run immersive, scenario-based and workplace-focused simulations. Delivery is hybrid with live online teaching, asynchronous online learning, and in-person practical workshops.

You will explore a wide range of simulation approaches and technologies, extending beyond clinical environments. The course welcomes participants from healthcare and non-healthcare backgrounds, and is highly relevant to simulation technicians and those working in technical roles.

Teaching emphasises leadership and real-world application, with assessments that include simulation event delivery, technology-enhanced projects, structured debates, and applied analyses linked to your workplace.

Career opportunities:

Simulation is an expanding field across healthcare, higher education, emergency services, defence and industry. Graduates are equipped to design, deliver and lead simulation-based learning and quality improvement initiatives.

Future career roles may include simulation educator, technologist/technician, lecturer, clinical trainer or simulation centre lead. Many students use the course to progress in their current role or transition into specialist simulation posts.

Additionally, you could continue your studies, helping you enhance your clinical knowledge and skills in a specialist area.

NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations
Higher Education Institutions and simulation centres
Emergency services, defence, and industry training environments.
