Simulation in New Zealand: what have you done for me lately? New Zealand Association for Simulation in Healthcare (NZASH) white paper.

Medical simulation has become an integral aspect of modern healthcare education and practice. It has evolved to become an essential aspect of teaching core concepts and skills, common and rare presentations, algorithms and protocols, communication, interpersonal and teamworking skills and testing new equipment and systems. Simulation-based learning (SBL) is useful for the novice to the senior clinician.

Exploring the feasibility of smartglass facilitated remote supervision in the emergency department: A simulation study.

Objective: Smartglasses are a wearable computer technology that has potential to facilitate remote supervision to junior doctors working in different clinical settings. The present study aimed to explore the feasibility of smartglass technology to enable remote supervision of junior clinicians by senior clinicians during emergency simulation scenarios.

Methods: This was a feasibility simulation study using high-fidelity mannequins and standardised patients.

Where can you wear your Libre? Using the FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitor on alternative sites.

Aim: To investigate the accuracy and acceptability of the FreeStyle Libre Flash continuous glucose monitoring system (FSL-CGM) at alternative sites during free living and under experimental conditions.

Materials And Methods: Participants with type 1 diabetes were provided with three FSL-CGM sensors applied to the upper arm, the lower back, and the anterior chest. On day 2 or 3, FSL-CGM sensor glucose was compared with venous glucose following a standard meal, during and after an exercise test, and after skin cooling.
