#ASPiH #Simulation
We will be using a voice therapy simulation for speech therapy students as a base from which to discuss how reflection is guided, how discussion is structured, and how a safe and engaging learning environment is created, all with the goal of enhancing the depth and effectiveness of the debrief.
**New Time Announced**
Join us at next week at our next #ASPiH Meta Debrief Club on April 28 at 11am BST
We are going global, and are excited to welcome Nancy Barber from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
All are welcome: sigs@aspih.org.uk

Real-world use of simulation tools
Clinicians + educators + industry working together
Honest insight into what works (and what doesn’t)
Learning that others can apply immediately
New for #ASPiH2026
We’re looking for Collaborative Workshops with Industry — but not product demos
✔ Must be cross-sector collaboration
✔ Focus on practice, not promotion
