Sharon Marie Weldon is a Reader and nurse. She leads the Centre for Professional Workforce Development and is a Deputy Head for the School of Health Sciences at University of Greenwich. She holds honorary positions with Imperial College, London and Barts Health NHS Trust. Her simulation interests and expertise are focused on Simulation-Based Research, Sequential Simulation (simulation that is concerned with recreating the longitudinal, sequential and time related elements of healthcare), Transformative Simulation (an umbrella term for simulation approaches that transform healthcare through the involvement of stakeholders for purposes such as testing interventions and improvement initiatives, designing new models of care, problem solving issues around the integration of care, considering care from the patients perspective, comparing and contrasting healthcare with other sectors, addressing complex care issues, and decision-making), and Distributed Simulation (portable, low-cost simulation equipment that enables simulation activities to not be confined by location and equipment).
The International Journal of Healthcare Simulation - Advances in Theory & Practice (IJoHS) is a single-blind peer-reviewed open access journal.
The journal is a member of Crossref and is actively exploring opportunities for inclusion in the leading scientific indexes. Each article is given a unique digital object identifier (DOI), these are shared with the scientific community through channels including Crossref and Google Scholar.
