Sharon Marie Weldon

 

Welcome

​

I’m Professor Sharon Weldon, a nurse, researcher, educator and innovator passionate about shaping the future of healthcare through simulation, collaboration, and human connection.

 

With roots in paediatric trauma surgery, global public health, and infectious disease care - from London to rural Uganda - my work is grounded in real-world complexity and a belief in people-first systems change.

 

As President-Elect of the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH), and through my roles at the University of Greenwich, Imperial College London, and Barts Health NHS Trust, I lead initiatives that push the boundaries of traditional simulation. I’ve co-developed nationally recognised centres, designed award-winning training programmes, developed innovative simulators, and contributed to research and teaching across five continents.

 

At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to making simulation more human, more visionary, and more inclusive. From sequential and distributed simulation to cross-sector collaborations with artists, educators, and technologists, I believe the most powerful innovations emerge when we blend rigorous science with empathy and connection.

 

I continue to mentor doctoral students, advise national and international bodies, and advocate for simulation as a bold, transformative force in healthcare. Whether through keynote talks, policy influence, or grassroots co-design, I’m aim to help lift simulation into its next era.
