Dr Richard Helyer

Research summary

My current role focuses on basic-science education and strategy in general, with specialisation in high-fidelity Human Patient Simulation.

My specific interests are the application of Human Patient Simulation, especially physiologic models, to the teaching key aspects of physiology in undergraduate curricula, and to blended pre- and clincial learning in medicine. I am the academic lead for the University of Bristol Biomedical Simulation Centre. I have published and presented on simulation at numerous workshops and as a keynote speaker.

My research background is in the area of ion channels, receptors and signalling molecules during development of the mammalian auditory system. Specifically ...
