Core Tip	Evidence is increasing that simulation is an effective means of teaching interventional procedures. We review the current use of simulators and the evidence for their efficacy, before considering the impact of the simulation environment on the learning that can be achieved. We argue that the use of the simulation environment as a tool to broaden the educational scope of simulation to teach skills other than the technical, is important to maximum utilisation of simulation.
