Debriefing Simulation-Based Education in Healthcare
The Diamond is a healthcare simulation debriefing model and approach that was developed in association with King’s College London and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. The model, which supports novice debriefers in facilitating a post-simulation debriefing conversation about human factors and patient safety issues, is now in use around the world. It is simple, easy to learn, and helps to focus the conversation on important learning from simulation that can be taken back into everyday clinical practice. The group continues to explore issues around simulation design and the facilitation of debriefing conversations, as well as training for simulation faculty using the Diamond and other debriefing approaches.
