PalliSim is a network of generalist and palliative medicine doctors, nurses and allied health professionals with a background in medical education and simulation. We share a common goal: to enhance palliative medicine education through simulation.
We believe that anyone can create and lead a successful palliative care simulation programme with the right training, support and enthusiasm.
PalliSim Network grew from the recognition that most palliative care simulation faculty were operating in silos. By working together, sharing faculty expertise and sim content, we have enhanced our own sim programmes and supported novel palliative care sim endeavours at new sites.
We currently have 130 members from hospitals and hospices across the United Kingdom, delivering palliative care simulation in all its forms.
