My research focuses on how healthcare professionals, scientists, clinicians, and emergency responders learn—and, in turn, how to support and train them more effectively. I am especially interested in how simulated environments can be used to help individuals learn and develop, as well as how simulation can help teams, departments, organisations, and inter-agency systems to be more prepared to respond to both everyday and unusual events.
I collaborate on research and teaching with colleagues across Europe and around the world, having been an invited or keynote speaker at universities and international meetings on six continents. I am on the Core Scientific Committee of the Society for Simulation in Europe (SESAM), and am the Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Simulation, the academic journal of SESAM. I was a founding Academic Chair for Circle U., an alliance of research-intensive European universities. I am a Visiting Professor at King's College London, and an Honorary Professor at the University of Cape Town, in South Africa.
