“…By grounding learning in real interaction with actors, simulation training strongly supports a patient-centred and collaborative approach to care, which is a further requirement of working with people with intellectual disabilities (Baker et al , 2008; Brenner, 2009). Participants’ knowledge and confidence have been shown to improve following simulation training, as have their attitudes towards the client groups represented in the training, another desirable achievement for educational interventions in intellectual disabilities (Goldfarb and Gorrindo, 2005; McNaughton et al , 2008; Thomson et al , 2013). Simulation training succeeds in fostering client-centred approaches, and addresses some key skills required to effectively deliver healthcare that are often only learned “on the job” (Attoe et al , 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of education and training in addressing health inequalities in intellectual disabilities, before examining innovative approaches to healthcare education. Preliminary findings of a simulation training course to support healthcare professionals to work with people with intellectual disability are then presented. Design/methodology/approach This study employed a mixed methods design to assess the impact of the simulation course. Quantitative data were collected using the Healthcare Skills Questionnaire and a self-report confidence measure; qualitative data were collected using post-course survey with free text responses to open questions. Findings Healthcare skills and confidence showed statistical improvements from pre- to post-course. Qualitative analyses demonstrated that participants perceived improvements to: attitudes, communication skills, reasonable adjustments, interprofessional and multi-disciplinary working, knowledge of key issues in working with people with intellectual disabilities. Practical implications Encouraging findings imply that simulation training to address health inequalities in intellectual disabilities is a valuable resource that merits further development. This training should be rolled out more widely, along with ongoing longitudinal evaluation via robust methods to gauge the impact on participants, their workplaces, and people with intellectual disabilities. Originality/value The authors believe this paper to be the first to assess an interprofessional, high-fidelity simulation course, using actors as simulated patients to address the mental and physical health needs of people with intellectual disabilities. The rigorous use of co-production and co-delivery, alongside promising findings for this training method, represent a useful contribution to the literature.

“…Simulations using SPs are used in various ways to teach, reinforce, and/or assess competencies of various health care professionals (Howley, 2013). The use of SPs is particularly well-suited to assess competencies that require interaction with patients with complex emotional, psychological, and cognitive disorders (Goldfarb & Gorrindo, 2013). SPs can be trained to simulate patient care scenarios with a high degree of reality; consistently reproducing the history, emotional tone and affects, verbal communication style, and nonverbal communication of the simulated patient (Howley, 2013; McLean, Kelly, Geddes, & Della, 2016), thus providing close-to-real opportunities for experiential learning and assessment.…”

“…First, SPT is ideal for teaching the interpersonal skills necessary to achieve patient outcomes (Cohen et al, 2014; Goldfarb & Gorrindo, 2013). SPT promotes students’ ability to conduct interviews (Doolen et al, 2014), engage patients (Darnell et al, 2016), communicate effectively (Webster, 2014), and respond empathically (Foster et al, 2016).…”

Interpersonal skill development is a key part of training in clinical psychology. High-quality training involves two key practices: true-to-life experiential exercises and real-time feedback. Unfortunately, these two practices are in conflict. Ethical and practical constraints limit the use of real clients, leaving most training programs to rely on role-plays with other students and faculty. Role-play exercises, while valuable, often lack the emotion, unpredictability, and salience of work with actual clients. This can be addressed by the use of simulated patients—actors carefully trained to realistically portray patients in certain training situations. This article describes one such training model used with first-year doctoral students in clinical psychology. In addition, two potential options for evaluating the efficacy of the program are described. The utility of the program is then discussed in the context of key competencies, accreditation, and the larger context of dissemination and implementation (D & I) of evidence-based practice.
