Phillips and Blair: Clinical debriefing: lessons from simulation

Debriefing in health care has been described as ‘the attempt to bridge the gap between experience of an event and making sense of it’ [1], which is generally conducted as a guided exploration and analysis with the aim of affecting future practice. Debriefing is well established in simulation-based education and has been recognized as the most important component of simulation for learning [2]. There is now a wealth of literature on techniques for clinical debriefing, which can take place after both routine and emergency events in health care. Several themes have been identified in both settings as being fundamental to a successful debrief, which are explored above.
