Professor Sharon Marie Weldon is Professor of Healthcare Simulation and Workforce Development at the University of Greenwich, UK, and President of the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH). Her work focuses on the use of simulation to support system-level insight, cultural change, and workforce development across health and care.
She is a co-originator of the Transformative Simulation framework, which has been adopted internationally to support improvement, innovation, and organisational learning and transformation. Her research draws on interdisciplinary approaches, integrating healthcare practice, human factors, and social science to explore how simulation can be used to understand and transform complex systems. Her work has also contributed to the development of approaches such as sequential and distributed simulation, with a focus on understanding care across time, context, and system boundaries.
Sharon has a background in global health and holds honorary positions with Imperial College London and Barts Health NHS Trust. She works across academic, clinical, and policy settings to advance the role of simulation in transforming healthcare education, practice and patient outcomes.
The Journal of Healthcare Simulation - Advances in Theory & Practice (JoHS) 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.
