Dr. Laura Newhouse on her 2 year Douglas Starship Simulation Programme Fellowship
Dr. Laura Newhouse on her 2 year Douglas Starship Simulation Programme Fellowship Season 2. Episode 7 Episode Summary: In this episode of SimNurseNZ, we had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Laura Newhouse, who recently completed her two-year fellowship with the Douglas Starship Simulation Programme in Auckland, New Zealand. Dr. Newhouse shares invaluable insights from her fellowship experience, the impact of simulation in healthcare, and the personal growth she underwent as part of the simulation team. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Dr. Laura Newhouse's Fellowship Experience: Dr. Newhouse takes us through her two-year fellowship, discussing the challenges and rewarding experiences that shaped her time with the Douglas Starship Simulation Programme. From being part of the simulation team in Auckland to enhancing her clinical skills through simulation-based learning, Laura reflects on the personal and professional growth she achieved during her fellowship. Newly Published Article: "What Can Simulation Educators Learn from the Reluctant Participant?": We dive into Laura’s newly published article, co-authored with Ngaire Polwart, titled What Can Simulation Educators Learn from the Reluctant Participant? An Exploration of the Factors Influencing Engagement Amongst Adult Learners Participating in Paediatric Simulation Training. This qualitative research study explores the factors that influence healthcare professionals' participation in simulation training. The article was recently published in Advances in Simulation (link to article: What Can Simulation Educators Learn from the Reluctant Participant?). Dr. Newhouse discusses key findings, including the barriers and motivations for healthcare workers participating in simulation exercises and how reluctance to participate in simulation can impact individuals and healthcare teams. Learnings and Reflections from the Fellowship: Laura shares the key learnings and challenges she faced throughout her time with the simulation team, offering personal reflections on what the fellowship has meant for her career. She also discusses how simulation education can change the way healthcare teams approach patient safety, communication, and crisis management. Key Takeaways: Simulation plays a critical role in enhancing healthcare education and practice. Overcoming reluctance in simulation participants is essential for fostering a culture of learning and growth.
