Developing a faculty simulation-based education strategy: a Delphi study to build consensus and aid decision making

The e-Delphi method effectively built consensus on a comprehensive SBE strategy tailored to a decentralised, multidisciplinary faculty. The strategy goes beyond existing frameworks by integrating sustainability, multi-level governance, and structured technology planning, while embedding student and PPIE perspectives. It offers a scalable, replicable model for institutions seeking to align simulation provision with strategic priorities, accreditation standards and equitable access. Future research should examine the strategy's impact on educational outcomes, workforce readiness and its adaptability across disciplines and institutional contexts.
