In this editorial, we present a short 5 min documentary-style film to explore how immersive distributed simulation can be used to engage members of the public in the experience of care in order to generate a wider discussion on what care means. Traditionally, and more commonly, simulation in healthcare has been used for training, quality improvement and assessment purposes. Although this is an obvious and effective use of simulation techniques, little thought has been given to how simulation could be used beyond this. 1 2 Furthermore, Kneebone 3 argues that the current use of simulation has mirrored practice by restricting it to a clinical ‘insider’frame, excluding patients, families, the public and even managers, commissioners, policymakers and other sectors from its purpose, design and implementation, although these perspectives are an essential component of clinical practice that could enhance current approaches to care. Current utilisation of simulation techniques and approaches often focuses on single elements of healthcare that mirror healthcare practices rather than looking to transform them, and with limited external involvement. However, we believe its application can be much wider than its current scope. By capitalising on simulations' main benefits (the ability to recreate realistic healthcare scenarios in a safe environment), we have been testing simulations' applicability for a range of objectives. To date, we have used simulation approaches for a number of interventions relating to the following:Direct patient care to engage with primary and secondary care stakeholders in developing new approaches to integrated care 4–6; as a tool for multidisciplinary staff and patients to improve adolescent asthma care 7; for the improvement of end-of-life care by multiprofessionals and patients in a hospital setting 8 9; and to share the strengths and challenges of maternity care services across a borough of London. 10 Patient and public engagement/involvement to engage with members of the public in the future of surgery and ethical-related issues 11; as a tool for public and patient engagement in a new point-of-care diagnostic test 12; to engage publics in coronary care procedures 13; to engage parents in the avoidable hospital admissions of their unwell children and to engage at-risk teenagers in the care pathway of knife crimerelated incidents. 14
