Simulation-based training for healthcare skills

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.
