State of the art high-fidelity clinical patient simulation laboratory provides students with the opportunity to tackle real-life scenarios in a safe and supported environment.

Set up like a hospital ward, the Lab contains six full body human patient simulators; 1 child, 1 baby and 4 adults that can mimic everything from the common cold to a major heart condition. Using these simulators means that students can practice health-related scenarios in a safe, realistic environment, without any risk or harm to real patients. The Simulation Lab is unique as it also houses a sound-proof Control Room with one way mirrored glass, which means that the mannequins can be operated covertly, thus creating an extremely realistic clinical experience. The voice of the patient appears to come from the mannequins themselves. Instant feedback, access to physiological data, for example, respiration rate, heart rate, blood pressure, electrocardiography (ECG) and verbal responses enable students to interact fully in order to assess, diagnose and treat the patient simulators successfully.
