This presentation targets one of the research communities, that of simulation in healthcare, which is considered neighbourhood domain for the VPH initiative. The high interest the presentation received confirmed that simulation in healthcare training, planning, and provision is a natural target application for VPH technologies.

This was seen asa means to ensure longevity to the community of practice which was established with the STEP Action and is currently running with the VPH Network of Excellence (VPH NoE). This idea has been re- proposed and expanded in the recent "Vision & Strategy" document of the VPH NoE, and has recently been exposed to the judgement of the community at large through the launch of a petition. Given the overwhelmingly positive reaction of the community, with nearly 300 signatures from over 30 countries, the Pro Tempore Board of Directors has now formally entered the Constituent process and should be completed before the end of 2010.
