   NUS Workshop

Design and Debriefing in the Blended Learning Approach with Simulation-based TeamSTEPPS (BLAST) – An Interprofessional Education Programme

Enhancing competencies in interprofessional teamwork at the pre-registration level is essential for preparing a collaborative, practice-ready healthcare workforce committed to patient-centered care and safety. Simulation is a key modality in interprofessional education (IPE), offering learners from different healthcare disciplines the opportunity to learn together in a realistic and supportive environment.
This workshop will share the development and implementation of the Blended Learning Approach with Simulation-based TeamSTEPPS (BLAST), an IPE programme designed for final-year undergraduate medical and nursing students at the National University of Singapore. A central focus will be on interprofessional debriefing, with an introduction to the Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation (PEARLS) model as a structured approach for guiding reflection and shared learning. Video excerpts from both virtual and face-to-face IPE simulations will be presented to illustrate facilitation strategies and debriefing techniques. Participants will also engage in interactive discussions by offering debriefing pointers in response to selected video demonstrations.

Singapore

Dr Chua Wei Ling is an Assistant Professor at the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, National University of Singapore (NUS). She is a nurse academic and health services researcher with a strong focus on patient safety, simulation-based education, and nursing workforce development.
Her research centres on three interrelated areas: (1) rapid response systems, with a focus on the early recognition and timely escalation of clinically deteriorating patients; (2) sepsis care across the continuum, from early recognition to post-acute recovery; and (3) nursing workforce wellbeing and development, including strategies to improve nurse retention, as well as the roles, competencies, and collaborative practices needed to sustain high-quality care. A key emphasis across her work is the role of interprofessional and intraprofessional collaboration in improving patient outcomes and system performance.
Dr Chua leads and contributes to multiple studies involving the implementation of nurse-driven sepsis protocols, evaluation of rapid response systems in acute hospitals, the use of virtual and high-fidelity simulation in education, and the evaluation of nursing care models and flexible workforce strategies. She is the programme lead for the final-year nursing–medicine simulation-based interprofessional education at NUS and teaches emergency and critical care nursing management at the undergraduate level. She also teaches postgraduate courses in measurement theory and instrument validation.
She collaborates actively with clinical partners and international researchers to translate evidence into education, practice, and policy. Her work aims to strengthen healthcare delivery by aligning workforce capability, wellbeing, and system design.

   HKSSIH Workshop

Scenario Design Workshop for Interprofessional Simulation Training: From Educational Theory to Practical Application

This workshop provides a comprehensive framework for designing impactful interprofessional simulation scenarios for healthcare training. Grounded in the principles of backwards design, the session guides participants through a structured process that begins with defining clear learning objectives and desired team competencies. A central focus will be on leveraging needs assessment to identify critical training gaps and tailor scenarios that effectively address the unique challenges of interprofessional collaboration in both undergraduate and postgraduate settings.
Our faculty, who possess extensive experience in crew resource management (CRM) and interprofessional education, will share practical insights and proven strategies. They will demonstrate how to move from a needs analysis to a fully developed scenario that aligns with specific educational outcomes and institutional goals. Participants will learn to construct realistic clinical situations that challenge teams, foster effective communication, and reinforce collaborative practice. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be equipped to design and implement simulations that not only meet curricular requirements but also drive meaningful improvements in teamwork and patient safety across the healthcare continuum

Navigating Challenging Dialogues: A Workshop for Healthcare Educators

This interactive workshop equips healthcare educators with the skills and techniques to manage challenging conversations across the educational continuum. We will explore the complex and often uncomfortable dialogues that arise in settings such as workplace-based learning, simulation debriefings, and supervisory training. The session structure is grounded in reflective practice, providing a guided space for participants to analyze their past challenging experiences and identify recurring patterns or triggers in a supportive, peer-led environment.
Moving from reflection to action, the workshop will introduce frameworks and communication tools for navigating these difficult moments constructively. Faculty will share insights on how to maintain composure, de-escalate tension, and create the psychological safety necessary for productive dialogue. Focus will be placed on the art of delivering effective feedback for learning improvement, even when faced with challenging educational situations. Participants will leave with a robust toolkit of strategies to transform these challenging conversations into powerful opportunities for professional growth and deeper learning.

   iHIVE Visit

The i-HIVE system utilizes cutting-edge Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) technology to facilitate practical and collaborative learning experiences. This 360-degree projection technology creates a highly realistic clinical environment, such as an isolation room in Intensive Care Units and a resuscitation room in Accident and Emergency Departments. Our innovative platform enables faculty to conduct hybrid simulations, allowing for a seamless transition between face-to-face and immersive teaching. By integrating virtual technology with traditional learning methods, we enhance student engagement and enrich the simulation experience. During this visit, we will demonstrate how to integrate existing virtual simulation programs into the i-HIVE system for hybrid simulation. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with virtual patients in a realistic and dynamic setting. Additionally, we will showcase several locally developed 360-degree clinical and household environments that are used in teaching nursing therapeutics and community health nursing.
