Pre-registration nursing simulation promotes learning in an environment replicating clinical practice and allows nursing students to gain experience before professional registration. Simulation is widely used in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to develop student nurses' skills, knowledge, and attitudes in an environment that allows for error, where patients are not exposed to risk. With the challenges being faced by HEIs in finding clinical placements for pre-registration nursing students, simulation is an effective method of addressing the theory-practice gap while enabling student nurses to gain valuable experience in preparation for registered nursing practice. One area underutilized in simulation activity for pre-registrant nurses in dementia care, with many HEIs not delivering specific dementia simulation learning and having little dementia care, included in curriculums. With the increasing numbers of people living with dementia accessing health and social care services, this article explores nursing simulation and its role in preparing student nurses for the care of people living with dementia.
