Achievement unlocked. I'm sad that it's not possible for me to go to #ASPiHconference, but proud thst SimOS will feature in discussions and there will be a crowd of 80-something sim techs on attendance this year 🤯🎉

At today's openday I'm enjoying talking to prospective students about the support and innovation my team provides to staff and students at the sim centre. Making cheap materials on mass, creating models that don't exist to purchase, maximising immersion. #techniciansmakeithappen

Here's to giving technicians a chance. Thank you @SimandSkills. I was worried my workshop would be lame, but it started more conversations than I had hoped for. Let's break those silos wide open! . #simtechlive

My colleagues have been curious as to why there's a wall made of knock-off duplo on my desk, so I decided to turn it into an informative installation. With a warning. Science Museum Technician Exhibit, eat your heart out. #techniciansmakeithappen.#techniciancommitment

We're 2 days into our 9 day long Interprofessional Real Time Sim. Here's a summary of what we're putting on for our final year healthcare programme students. These are exciting times for a technician like me.

What I hope I got across was there can be quite a few unexpected spanners in the works; I hope I shone a light on some of them and made it clear that support is available for technical issues in Healthcare education across the UK, via the ASPiH Regional Tech Champions.
