Current Projects

My current work brings together research, practice, and leadership to explore how simulation can be used more intentionally to support learning, improvement, and meaningful change in complex systems.

Across these projects, I am interested in how purpose, values, context, and design shape what simulation makes possible - and in developing frameworks, methods, and shared language that help individuals, organisations, and systems use simulation more thoughtfully and responsibly.

Some projects are research-focused, others are applied or collaborative, and many sit at the intersection of theory and practice. Together, they reflect a coherent body of work concerned with clarity of intention, methodological rigour, and real-world impact.

Transformative Simulation

Transformative Simulation is a methodology for using simulation to support cultural, organisational, and systems-level change. It helps make intention and values explicit, supporting simulation design that is coherent, inclusive, and grounded in real-world context. https://aspih.org.uk/tfs-infographics/

ALICE Simulator

The ALICE Simulator is a first-of-its-kind, motion and haptic-enabled immersive ambulance driving simulator developed in honour of Alice Clark, a young paramedic and University of Greenwich graduate who tragically died in the line of duty. Designed as both a high-fidelity training tool and a research platform, ALICE integrates motion, haptics, immersive UK road environments, and real-time eye-tracking to explore the complexities of emergency driving. Through the use of Transformative Simulation (TfS) scenarios, the project goes beyond technical skill - capturing the human factors, decision-making processes, and stress responses that shape performance. ALICE is not just about safer driving; it’s about generating insight, shaping policy, and building a future where paramedic training is as reflective, evidence-informed, and system-aware as the role demands.

Mapping Fidelity

This work systematically maps how simulation fidelity is defined and used across the literature, bringing clarity to a concept that is often assumed rather than examined. The aim is to support more intentional, purpose-driven simulation design.

Sequential Simulation

Sequential Simulation recreates a patient journey or system process over time, allowing teams to explore how care unfolds across settings, transitions, and decisions, and to identify opportunities for improvement and redesign.

Female Pelvic Simulator

This project focuses on the development and use of an anatomically accurate, high-fidelity female pelvic simulator designed to address longstanding inequalities in women’s health education and care.

Historically, women’s pelvic health has been underrepresented in training, research, and simulation design. This work responds directly to that gap by supporting the development of a highly realistic model that reflects female anatomy with accuracy and sensitivity, enabling safer, more effective learning across a range of clinical procedures and settings.

The simulator can be used flexibly across specialties and contexts — including undergraduate and postgraduate education, clinical skills training, and service improvement — supporting clinicians to develop technical competence, confidence, and embodied understanding in a way that is difficult to achieve through traditional training alone.

By improving the quality and realism of pelvic health simulation, this work aims to contribute to more equitable training, better clinical practice, and ultimately improved experiences and outcomes for women.
