The NES practice education team works in partnership with colleagues from practice and education providers to create networks that support nurses and midwives across Scotland.

Guidance for educators new to the design, delivery and evaluation of simulation-based education
The CSMEN operational group has approved new guidance aimed at facilitating a consistent approach amongst educators within NHS Education for Scotland that are new to developing clinical skills through simulation-based education. The guidance introduces common terms and definitions related to simulation-based learning, and signposts educators to existing resources developed by CSMEN, Scottish Centre for Simulation and Clinical Human Factors and other directorates across NES that support design and delivery of education and impact evaluation.
The document was written by the Clinicals Skills and Simulation-based Education Group within the Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions (NMAHP) Directorate, and aims to support NES employed staff and those in a practice education role. The guidance is a live document and will be updated in response to feedback and as the NES transformation programme develops with implementation of the Learning and Education Quality System.
