Start a Simulation
SimFlow lets learners practise realistic scenarios through simulations designed around specific topics, conditions, and tasks. For example, they can practise a screening mammography consultation, focusing on informed consent, patient comfort, and clear communication.
Learners can browse the Library to explore the available simulations and choose a scenario that matches the skills or subject you want to practise.
Let’s get started 🚀
Pre-Reading and Pre-Brief
Before starting a simulation, some scenarios include Pre-Reading and a Pre-Brief. The Pre-Reading provides the background and scenario-specific information learners need to understand the case, while the Pre-Brief helps you reflect on what they have learned, identify areas you feel confident in, and consider what they want to develop during the simulation.
Info: The Pre-Brief questions are optional, but the responses are considered as part of the assessment report generated after the simulation. The report may compare reflections with performance during the simulation. For example, if the learners indicate that they are not confident performing a task but then perform particularly well, the assessment report may highlight this difference and provide relevant feedback.
Completing these preparation steps helps you approach the simulated conversation with a clear understanding of the scenario and the skills you want to practise.
Use the interactive walkthrough below to prepare for a simulation.
Note: Pre-Reading content is specific to each simulation. Some simulations may not include Pre-Reading or may provide different preparation materials and questions.
