The Neglected Art of Debriefing: A Reflective Piece on the Lessons Learnt from a Multinational Rescue Simulation Event
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Simulation-based education (SBE) has become a cornerstone of health professions education, with the methods and strategies used continually evolving as new applications for SBE are realised. In conjunction with this ever-growing aspect of health professions education is the ongoing development and refinement of core competencies embedded in the practice of SBE, one of which is debriefing. In this reflective piece lessons learnt in the art of debriefing, garnered through the observations of the debriefing practices used during a multinational rescue simulation exercise, are shared. Drawing on the lessons learnt, practical recommendations are shared, with the purpose of promoting effective debriefing practices in the SBE space.
