Sharon Weldon

President, 2026

This year’s conference explores the theme Simulation: The Next Era - examining how simulation is evolving as a driver of education, system learning and healthcare transformation.

As complexity increases across health and social care, simulation must move beyond isolated training events to become a strategic tool for innovation, co-production, workforce development and system-level change. This theme invites delegates to explore how simulation can be intentionally designed, delivered and evaluated to generate meaningful impact at micro, meso and macro levels.

 By bringing together diverse perspectives across professions, sectors and disciplines, ASPiH 2026 will showcase emerging practice, rigorous scholarship and bold ideas shaping the future of simulation in the UK and internationally.

 Attending ASPiH 2026 offers access to internationally recognised speakers, cutting-edge sessions, hands-on workshops, valuable networking opportunities and the UK’s largest dedicated simulation exhibition.
