ASPiH Community Fund

Supporting our Simulation Community to learn, connect and thrive

The ASPiH Community Fund helps members of our simulation community who may otherwise be unable to attend the ASPiH Annual Conference because of financial barriers.

We recognise that many valuable contributors to healthcare simulation work in roles where access to continuing professional development funding can be limited. This includes technicians, researchers, faculty, simulated patients, role players, volunteers and people with lived experience who make a significant contribution to simulation-based education and improvement.

The Community Fund was established to help ensure that access to learning, networking and professional development opportunities is available to all who contribute to our field.
