Rate My Professor Sharon Weldon

Weldon's research specializations include healthcare simulation methodologies such as sequential simulation, distributed simulation, and her originated Transformative Simulation framework, alongside communication in high-risk environments, ethnomethodology, and co-production. She has secured major funding, including £3 million from the Office for Students for Simulated Critical Care Unit Development (2021), £263,000 from Health Education England (2022), and multiple Research Capital Investment Funds totaling over £300,000. Notable awards encompass the Society for Simulation in Healthcare Presidential Recognition of Service Award (2025), Outstanding Team of the Year at University of Greenwich Staff Awards (2023), and Research Paper Winner at the Royal College of Nursing International Research Conference (2014). Key publications feature 'Transformative simulation' in the Journal of Healthcare Simulation (2026), 'From escalation to emergence: NHS Forth Valley and the quiet power of transformative simulation' in the British Medical Journal (2026), and 'Transformative forms of simulation in healthcare. The seven simulation-based ‘I’s: a concept taxonomy review of the literature' in the International Journal of Healthcare Simulation (2023). Her contributions influence global simulation practices, policy, and public engagement through extensive scholarly output and leadership roles.
