Hi I am Colin, I am a Simulation Technician here at Salisbury Hospital. My Background was a Theatre Nursing Assistant for about 5 years, I then joined the Sim Team about 5 years ago. I enjoy Helping Build confidence for our Doctors, Nurses and all other Health Profession to look after an Deteriorating Patient. It is a very rewarding role, and i always strive to provide the best experiences when in our Sim centre!

Hey, I'm Andy Hollands - Simulation Practitioner. Simulated activity has been key throughout my clinical career [Paramedic]. I'm personally very motivated to assist with training opportunities which benefit the clinicians and all the future patients under their care [train one - save many]. What I like most about the simulation service delivery here at Salisbury Hospital is our team based approach. We share a passion for pushing the boundaries of user experience and leave no stone unturned to ensure participants are immersed and ultimately have a safe experience.

I’m Claire Brattle, the Simulation Manager at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust. I have worked in the NHS for over 30 years as a Registered General Nurse, with the majority of my clinical background rooted in critical care. Throughout my career, I have held several educational roles, all of which have reinforced my passion for teaching, learning, and supporting the development of others. For the past 11 years, I have worked as a simulationist and have had the privilege of creating, shaping, and leading our Trust’s simulation-based education service. I am deeply committed to enhancing patient safety and improving clinical outcomes, and I firmly believe that simulation is a powerful and transformative modality for experiential learning. I am incredibly proud to be part of a motivated, forward-thinking team that consistently strives to deliver high-quality, evidence-based education. Together, we aim to empower staff, strengthen teamwork, and drive continuous improvement across our organisation.

I am a Simulation Technician here at Salisbury Hospital. I have worked in the trust for 12 years. I’ve worked in ICU, Plastics and Burns as well as a few other wards and roles., I Joined the Sim team at the end of 2024, I absolutely love my role within the team, I really enjoy bringing more realism to the scenarios, whether that be with some jewellery, the environment settings or some moulage.

Meet our Team,
Colin, Andy, Claire and Nat
