Communication skills training has always been vital, but it hasn’t always been scalable.

That’s why it was encouraging to see the BBC lend their platform to recognising the importance of healthcare communication training and AI’s supporting role in its development.

Because SimFlow.ai isn’t an exercise experimental tech, it’s an intuitive, scalable response to real training pressures.

The BBC interview with Dr Chris Jacobs highlighted how platforms like SimFlow.ai are helping educators:

📈 Scale communication skills training
🧑‍⚕️ Ease workforce bottlenecks
🤓 Give learners safe, repeatable access to realistic scenarios

You’ve seen SimFlow.ai in action during our webinar. Now you can explore what it could look like in your setting.

Master collateral arterial blood flow – not just needle technique 💉

When it comes to Arterial Blood Gas sampling, true competence isn’t just procedural, it’s about knowing how but also when it is safe to do.

Textbooks can teach the steps, but the ABG & Allen Test Training Model from BT Inc allows you to teach your students the sensations, timing and decision cues that are vital to the success and safety of the procedure.

Here’s how:

🟡 Palpate lifelike pulse at the radial artery
🟡 The colour of the palm changes while performing an Allen test
🟡 Changeable pulse intensity and rate
🟡 Check the backward flowing of blood while arterial puncture training
🟡 Realistic resistance at the arterial wall during arterial puncture training
🟡 Hard to find needle marks after punctures

Set your learners up with the skills to read realistic perfusion and colour feedback cues from the very beginning.

Build simulated wards with SimWard.

SimWard is an addition to SimEPR and enables you to monitor the activity of multiple learners at once, who are interacting with different patients.

It is designed for ward-based and interprofessional simulation with a capability of up to 15 different patients running at one time.

Interested in finding out how you can incorporate SimWard into your scenarios?

At Sim & Skills we proudly facilitate conversations, highlight issues and give a platform to solutions that serve the continued improvement of simulation-based learning and patient safety.

That’s why we resonate so much with this year’s theme: Give to gain.

We know that when we give robust, representative training, we gain better outcomes in clinical practice. However, this is not the case for female representation in healthcare simulation currently.

So, this International Women’s Day, we’re reflecting on what healthcare gains when gender representation is commonplace in training. Below we’ve highlighted recent research and insights into lacking female representation in healthcare simulation, the detriment it causes, and how remedying this serves the betterment of clinical training and patient outcomes.

Healthcare is for everyone. Simulation should be too.

Precision matters in tube feeding and tracheostomy care - not just for passing assessments, but for patient safety and quality care.

Misplaced tubes or incorrect handling can lead to serious complications, but regular practice of these ‘blind’ procedures build confidence and competence.

With the NG Tube Feeding, Tracheostomy Care and Suction Trainer it allows learners to:

⚕️Master correct NG, OG and PEG tube placement and procedural competence

⚕️Confidently confirm safe tube positioning and recognise signs of misplacement

⚕️Uphold Infection control practice

⚕️Drill their accuracy and muscle memory to ensure patient comfort

⚕️Develop adaptability to varied patient positioning, fluid usage and tube placements

The BT Inc Tube Feeding, Tracheostomy Care & Suction Trainer lets learners practise a varied set of key EN tube skills — from NG/OG/PEG tube placement to suctioning and tracheostomy care — again and again in a realistic, safe setting.

Thinking about AI for communication skills training, but not sure where to begin? 👀

You’re not alone. AI training integration is a significant landscape shift in healthcare training and important questions are rising about how AI fits alongside traditional communication simulation, how realistic it really is, and whether it genuinely improves learning outcomes.

So, we’ve pulled together the most fundamental questions and answers about SimFlow.ai. Inside, you’ll discover:

👉 How AI simulations complement (not replace) traditional training.
👉 What makes AI patient interactions feel realistic and clinically relevant.
👉 How personalised feedback and assessment works within your curriculum.
👉 Ways educators are using AI to overcome scheduling, cost, and access barriers.
👉 How custom scenarios can align with your existing curriculum.

We’ve just scratched the surface. Want to go deeper?

Join our upcoming webinar to:

🎥 Meet the founder Dr. Jon Turvey, and SimFlow.ai advocate Dr. Chris Jacobs
🧠 See a live, in-depth SimFlow.ai demonstration.
💬 Ask your questions during live Q&A.
