In this episode Lawrence and Tony are joined by Juliet Harrison an associate professor in paramedic science from the University of East Anglia. This week's topic revolves around some of the challenges faced promoting diversity in simulation. The trio discuss both obvious issues such as skin tone in patient simulators as well as some more subtle nuances such as traditional terminology used in simulation which isn't always inclusive. A very thought provoking episode this one... #simcast #simulation #podcast
