Designing and delivering effective simulation-based education for global nursing emergency disaster preparedness and humanitarian practice

In 2024, the University of Derby in the United Kingdom hosted an international simulation challenge aimed at preparing students for the complexities of global public health emergencies. This interprofessional event involved students from nursing, allied health, social care, and public health disciplines across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Featuring six simulated carousel scenarios, the design and delivery of the event highlighted the need for standardised frameworks to optimise simulation-based education (SBE) in nursing emergency disaster preparedness and humanitarian practice pedagogy.
