Design/methodology/approach

Findings

Creating informal learning environments can help participants acquire and enhance requisite capabilities. In healthcare settings, students enjoy valuable opportunities to learn and practice key skills through simulation that they can subsequently apply during work placements. Support from technicians and peers from their own and other similar healthcare domains plays a vital role in helping build confidence and improve professional judgment and decision-making.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
