On sourcing different organisations to support the Dorset Women’s Health Programme and staff within health and social care around racial discrimination training, SimComm Academy came with a high recommendation, and I can completely concur with this rating having worked so closely with them. What I welcome about SimComm Academy is that they offer an extremely tailored programme according to the desired content, delivery, outputs, evaluation, and potential impact. This has enabled a collaborative and successful partnership which I believe has led to the smooth delivery of our training session and has exceed my expectations. On the day, I found SimComm Academy to be highly professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely well prepared. Coupled with this, the facilitators have superb delivery styles alongside personable manners which encouraged exceptional engagement and interaction on the day. The facilitators put the audience at ease instantly and the initial feedback and learning was impressive! Thank you, SimComm Academy, to making this training session such an enjoyable experience alongside the excellent actors who made the scenarios really come to life! With regards to any improvements, I would struggle to identify any as everything was thoroughly briefed and debriefed. If only our 3.5 hours training could have lasted longer! Sincere thanks from myself, NHS Dorset, and staff across ‘Our Dorset’ to Nichola, Caroline, Kirsten, Amenah, Jennie and Georgia. We are extremely grateful for all your help

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team for supporting another fabulous course. Thank you for all the help with the organisation in the run up to the event and please pass on our immense gratitude to the actors and facilitators for the event – it is hard to put in to words just how incredible having the actors as part of this learning is but it really makes such a difference and really makes the course what it is.

Partnered with SimComm Academy to provide experiential workshops aimed at equipping individuals with the skills and awareness to act as effective allies against racism. Delivered training sessions incorporating creative methodologies, including short films, forum theatre, and scenario-based role plays with professional actors. These tools enabled participants to practice real-world responses to discrimination in a safe, constructive environment. Empowered attendees to recognise subtle and overt racism, offering practical approaches to intervene and support those experiencing prejudice.

The SimComm Academy has supported our Communication Course at Salisbury Foundation Trust for many years. The team of actors bring our real life scenarios to life and play a vital role in the impact that these scenarios have on our patients and families. Working collaboratively with SimComm more recently to introduce a new scenario to our Communication day has been a hugely positive experience. We look forward to continuing this collaborative working to find ways to expand and improve our course.
