Participant evaluations after participation in either ISS or OSS in medians with 25% and 75% quartiles. Analysis comprised a comparison of the evaluation medians of the ISS versus the OSS group

| 5. Did simulations inspire you to change procedures or practical issues in the labour room or operating theatre (1=no ideas to 5=many ideas) (included open-ended questions) | 3 (2–3) | 3 (2–4) | 0.70 |
| 6. Did simulations inspire you to change guidelines (1=no ideas to 5=many ideas) (included open-ended questions) | 2 (1–2) | 2 (1–2) | 0.70 |
