Professor Gabriel Reedy is programme director for the Masters in Clinical Education, and has been on faculty at King’s since 2009. He holds a PhD in Cognitive and Educational Psychology, and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Washington, in Seattle (USA).

His research focuses on how healthcare professionals, scientists, clinicians, and emergency responders learn—and, in turn, how to support and train them more effectively. Much of his work focuses on how simulated environments can be used to help individuals learn and develop, as well as how simulation can help teams, departments, organisations, and inter-agency systems to be more prepared to respond to both everyday and unusual events.

He collaborates on research and teaching with colleagues across Europe and around the world, having been an invited or keynote speaker at universities and international meetings on six continents. He has served for many years on the research committee, and is a Fellow of the Academy, of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). He is on the Scientific Committee of the Society for Simulation in Europe (SESAM), and is the Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Simulation, the academic journal of SESAM. He is a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Association.

He is an Academic Chair for Circle U., an alliance of research-intensive European universities dedicated to imagining and creating the future of a sustainable higher education in Europe for the benefit of students, staff, and society.

His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (USA), the National Institutes for Health Research (UK), NHS Health Education England, and NHS England and Improvement, as well as various charities. He founded the Simulation, Teamwork, and Education in the Health Sciences research group.
