Professor Gerry Gormley

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

Professor Gormley’s main stream of research relates to the simulation based learning in healthcare.

Often technology, rather than pedagogy, predominates in healthcare simulation based education. Using dramaturgical and psychological techniques he aims to create a wide range of explicit and implicit cues that allows a more embodied and immersive simulated learning experience. By taking students to the edge of their clinical competency, in a safe and forgiving environment, students have the potential to gain a greater insight into their actions and behaviours expected of them. By extending the context of simulation into areas that doctors often feel unprepared for such as dealing with ethical and moral dilemmas, is a key feature of my research. Furthermore he is developing novel techniques of data capture in such dynamic simulated learning experiences.
