Simulation-based training for healthcare skills
Location: St Andrews Court
Our trailblazing facilities enable students to learn and develop healthcare skills in a safe and meaningful environment, preparing them for placements and careers in the field.
Using high and low fidelity patient simulators and simulated patient actors in these environments, the ward runs a wide variety of simulations, demonstrations and training events.
A key part of the ward is our Learning Management System that allows students to film and peer review recordings of themselves and enhance their learning.
