At Simulaids, we're always looking for new ways to bring the simulation community together, and we're delighted to introduce SimEx Spotlight, our new webinar series exploring innovations in healthcare simulation.
The first edition focuses on maternity simulation, and takes place live on Wednesday 24 September.
Introducing SimEx Spotlight
SimEx Spotlight is a new addition to the SimEx family, joining SimEx Summit and our wider programme of events. Where Summit brings the community together in person once a year, Spotlight is designed to go deeper on a single topic, live and online, with plenty of room for questions.
For this opening session, we're focusing on maternity simulation and introducing NOA and AVA, two simulators designed to support realistic, immersive training across a range of maternity scenarios.
Meet Us at the National Maternity Safety Conference
Before SimEx Spotlight, you'll have the chance to see NOA and AVA in person. We'll be exhibiting at Baby Lifeline's National Maternity Safety Conference on Wednesday 16 September at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham, where our team will be on hand to talk through both simulators face to face.
If you're attending, come and find us on the day. And whether you make it to Birmingham or not, SimEx Spotlight brings the same demonstration to you online a week later, with more time to go deeper and ask questions directly to our team.
What to Expect
Choosing the right simulation equipment is about more than features. It's about finding solutions that deliver meaningful educational outcomes, and that's what we'll focus on during the session.
We'll be covering:
- Live demonstrations of NOA and AVA in realistic maternity training scenarios
- The educational benefits of simulation in maternity care
- How these simulators support learner confidence and clinical decision-making
- Practical applications across universities, NHS trusts and clinical education settings
- Design features that enhance realism while supporting specific learning objectives
- A live Q&A session
By the end of the session, you'll be able to understand what NOA and AVA can do and where they fit, identify opportunities to bring advanced maternity simulation into your own teaching and training programmes, and see how realistic simulation can support learner confidence, engagement and clinical preparedness.
Live Demonstration & Q&A
Our team will demonstrate both simulators in action, showing their key features, educational applications and practical use within maternity training.
You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions, talk through your own training requirements, and find out how NOA and AVA could be integrated into your organisation.
Who Should Attend
This session is for anyone involved in maternity education, simulation and clinical training, including:
- Simulation educators and technicians
- Midwifery educators and lecturers
- Clinical educators and practice development teams
- NHS maternity education leads
- Universities and higher education institutions
- Patient safety and quality improvement professionals
- Healthcare organisations looking to enhance their maternity simulation provision
