Clinical simulation is being used to teach multi professional teams in a range of environments. Moving simulation from the controlled simulation suite to a range of settings including the ward and prehospital environment presents a challenge for educators who need the scenarios at their fingertips to facilitate effectively. With the ongoing development of new simulation material across the world, collating this material becomes challenging and inefficient. It is also recognised that there was previously no simple way of sharing good quality simulation educational material between educators. As mobile technology becomes ever more accessible, we present a mobile application which enables simulation material to be collated, shared and delivered from a single device - Simulation Tools And Resources (STAR).
