STEP: Simulation Technician Education Programme



Supporting Professional Registration and Career Development

STEP programme objectives:

  • Support simulation technicians in their application for professional registration with the Science Council.
  • Enable technicians to demonstrate the contribution they make to the effective functioning
    of simulation centres and their teams.
  • Encourage technicians to analyse work activity through a programmatic approach to continuing professional development.

How can STEP help?

Development of skills
STEP ensures technicians have the core skills to support high quality simulation-based education. STEP is designed to support technicians to reflect on their current practice and develop strategies to support their ongoing professional
development.

Recognition and respect
The skills, knowledge and expertise that technicians bring to their role can now be formally recognised through the RSciTech professional registration application to the Science Council. Through this process, STEP supports technicians to evidence the valuable contribution they make within simulation centre teams.

Sharing best practice
Over half of technicians work ‘alone’ as the only designated technician within their facility. STEP encourages the sharing of best practice as part of every module.

STEP Modules

Module One- STEPuP
Underpinning professionalism - a highly interactive one-day module which works systematically through the five elements of the RSciTech professional registration application to the Science Council.

Module Two- STEPout
Outstanding teamwork - This module uses a structured approach to support delegates to develop solutions that enhances their role within simulation centres.

Module Three- STEPOn
Ongoing Professional development - In this module delegates will begin to build a CPD portfolio to support work-based learning and professional activities.

Developed in collaboration with ASPiH
