Objective This one hour workshop is designed to help you consider strategies for measuring the impact of simulation based education on patient/proxy patient outcomes within your own work area. Background There is an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting the concept of simulated practice (1), however, the bulk of published research in this field, focuses on medical and undergraduate nursing and concentrates largely on how participants feel about undergoing SBE and its effects on clinical competence and confidence (2, 3). Utilising the T-phases of translational health research, this relates to T1 and T2 evaluation (1). There is minimal published research around T3 outcomes using SBE, i.e. how using this pedagogy translates to patient outcomes. Evidence suggests that one of the barriers to undertaking such research at this level, is knowing where to start with regards to measuring patient outcomes (4). It is hoped that this workshop will provide a basic platform from where to begin. Workshop Designed for novice researchers, this short workshop will use a case-study approach to identify strategies for measuring patient outcomes following SBE. Starting with identifying what the desired patient outcomes would be, rather than developing the simulation activity, this back to front approach aims to promote discussion, creative thinking and patient-centred care.
