Abstract
The development of this workbook has been led by a
team of researchers from five UK universities with a
grant from the UK Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). They are
investigating the use of modelling and simulation in
healthcare as part of the RIGHT (Research Into
Global Healthcare Tools) project.
The workbook was developed following an extensive
review of literature on the application of modelling
and simulation in healthcare and other safety-
critical industries, supplemented by the team’s
extensive expertise of modelling and simulation in
healthcare. In order to produce this summary guide,
thousands of articles were categorised according to
the techniques used, when they were used, and with
what resources.peer-reviewe
