‘Walking in the shoes of our patients’: a scoping review of healthcare professionals learning from the simulation of patient illness experiences

Abstract Background Health professionals who have experienced ill-health appear to demonstrate greater empathy towards their patients. Simulation can afford learners opportunities to experience aspects of illness, but to date, there has been no overarching review of the extent of this practice or th...
