Special Issue: Reframing simulation
Abstract
Engagement is an important element of the work of medical professionals, both with patients and members of the public, and within and between professions allied to medicine. Simulation can be reframed for different applications within medicine and surgery, and also as a tool for engagement. A number of examples are discussed illustrating, for example, how simulation can be stretched wider to engage non-experts in the concepts behind surgery, or how focusing on an essential element of a surgical procedure and presenting this in abstract form using simulation creates an intensifying effect.
