Simulation Innovation Resource Center, (Accessed January 2021).
The SIRC website is the product of a collaboration between the National League of Nurses and Laerdal Medical. Its purpose is to provide an international community wherein nursing educators can work together to promote simulation as a strategy to advance nursing education. Here you will find links for simulation-related online courses, news and a variety of forums. Their resources link will lead you to a variety of practical tools for developing and conducting simulation scenarios. The Homegrown tab brings you to hundreds of ideas, solutions, “recipes”, improvisations, and innovations educators have used to address a variety of issues arising from simulation practice.

This website is a free online resource focused on healthcare simulation. The Canadian site was developed and is maintained by Andy Howes, a technician, consultant, designer and manager specializing in simulation. It is a free resource which features contributions from sim techs from all over the world and includes downloadable scenarios, medical images and audio files. Aside from a bank of “tips and tricks” and hyperlinks dedicated to moulage, you will find administrative tools and forms to assist you in scenario development, debriefing, etc.
