With just 60 days until the eagerly anticipated 2025 ASPiH Conference, excitement is building across the simulation community for what promises to be another interesting and insightful event.
Taking place from November 11-13 in Bournemouth, this year’s theme ‘Simulation for Impact: Culture, Co-production and Creativity’, perfectly captures the transformative potential of simulation-based healthcare education.
As active participants in shaping the future of that education, with more than 100 years of experience in medical training solutions, we’re proud to be Gold Sponsors of this year’s ASPiH Conference.
The 2025 theme resonates with our own mission and values, and the work we do to advance simulation through meaningful collaboration and innovation.
This means listening to all voices and harnessing creativity to ensure that simulation products and techniques are authentic, accessible and genuinely representative of our communities.
With growing demand for flexible, culturally responsive, and co-designed learning solutions, ASPiH allows us to gain further insight into emerging needs, and take part in important conversations about the future of simulation in medicine and healthcare.
Preparing for ASPiH 2025 – a view from the Adam,Rouilly team
The future of simulation is exciting. A key part of the conversation is looking at what turns a good simulation into a transformative one, and how meaningful change can be driven. (Transformative Simulation framework Weldon et al 2023).
We’re looking forward to furthering that agenda with colleagues and peers at ASPiH.
As the conference countdown continues, we asked members of the Adam,Rouilly team to share their thoughts and tips ahead of this year’s event.

What are you most looking forward to about this year’s ASPiH?
The most exciting part of ASPiH is the energy it brings to the simulation and clinical skills community. I’m fortunate to meet many of our customers in person throughout the year, but ASPiH is different, it brings everyone together under one roof. It’s a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones, and share ideas in a setting that feels collaborative and forward-looking.
What I value most are the conversations. It’s not just about showing our products; it’s about listening, and understanding the challenges educators face, the innovations they’re working on, and where we can support them better. Those exchanges often spark new ideas and help us think differently about how Adam,Rouilly can adapt and continue adding value.”

What are your top tips for preparing for an event of this scale?
Anyone who has put in the thousands of steps walking round a conference venue, or spent a few days on a stand will know how brilliant but exhausting it can be. Especially for those who haven’t been to a conference before, it can also be a bit overwhelming.
So here’s a few tips on how to get the best out of your ASPiH attendance this year.
- Book hotels and plan travel arrangements early to prevent paying more
- Once the programme is available, decide what events you want to attend.
- Book any workshop sessions as numbers may be limited
- Attend the Conference Dinner as this is always a great networking event
- Make time to visit the Exhibition Hall – a good place to find out what the latest products are available, but also to get lots of good giveaways
- Get involved by helping out in sessions
- Last of all, enjoy
- (And make sure you follow up afterwards!)

What product are you most looking forward to showing?
I am really looking forward to showcasing Adam,Rouilly’s new BIOTME range of ultrasound blocks. These have been a great addition to our product range. Anyone who has had a chance to see these in action has been really impressed with the quality of the ultrasound images and the blocks as a whole. This will be our first opportunity to take them to an event like ASPiH in the UK, which is very exciting as it means more people will get to see and experience their quality first-hand.

Do you generate a lot of interest at these events, and how do you follow up?
We always generate a great deal of interest at these events, as they provide the perfect opportunity for delegates to experience our products first-hand and to ask questions about how they might fit into their own training environments. This face-to-face interaction often sparks valuable conversations that go beyond the exhibition itself, giving us real insight into the needs and challenges of educators.
When we return to the office, we make it a priority to act on the leads generated. Myself and the rest of our sales team then continue the conversation, whether by phone, email, or in person, to provide tailored advice and support. In this way, our presence at events not only creates initial interest but also helps us build long-term relationships with customers.

Why are events like this important for the industry?
Events like ASPiH are so important for the industry as it’s a chance to knowledge share, network and strengthen friendships. Healthcare simulation is a stellar example of the power of collaborative working. ASPiH, for instance, offers the chance to see emerging technologies and get a real feel of where the industry is heading. Most importantly it is an opportunity to further collaborate with customers – nothing beats speaking to people in person to really understand their needs.

What do you see as the future of simulation?
The future of simulation is extremely exciting, driven by rapid advances in technology, increasingly realistic materials, greater inclusivity in design, and stronger platforms for collaboration between industry and educators. A growing focus on diversity, such as the representation of different skin tones, will make simulation more authentic and ensure that training environments better reflect real patient populations.
At the same time, the demand for cost-effective training solutions that deliver sustainable, repeatable, and highly realistic opportunities will continue to grow. Part-task trainers, particularly at low and mid-fidelity levels, will remain an essential foundation of clinical skills education, supporting learners in developing core competencies before progressing to more complex scenarios.
If you’d like to connect with any of the team at ASPiH, where we’ll also have a selection of our products on display, we’d love to hear from you.
If you can’t make it this year, but would like to talk about medical education supplies for your organisation, our Sales Team is always on hand to help.
