Simulation, in its various forms, is widely used in all stages of education, training, and assessment of healthcare students and professionals. There is, however, a lot of variation in practice regarding the way in which institutions implement simulation, and in particular how educators work with simulated participants (SPs). This short article makes a case for bringing together all of Qatar’s healthcare educators and SPs at the 2025 Qatar Simulation Symposium in order to enhance simulation-based educational practices and raise awareness of standards of best practice. It could play a significant role in improving learners’ experiences and eventually positively impact on patient care.
