Simulation-Based Practice and Learning Environment

We offer a wide range of simulation-based education to support our students studying healthcare programmes.

Simulation-based education provides a structured, learner-centred environment in which students can develop their clinical proficiencies in simulated real-life situations and healthcare environments.

Digital simulation

In the simulated environments we offer a wide variety of technology enhanced learning opportunities.

Our immersive interactive simulation rooms combine various technologies including virtual reality, interactive graphics, video and audio content to provide learners with an innovative multi-sensory learning experience. The technology allows learners to experience varied healthcare and community environments and encourages learners to respond to real-life situations in a safe environment.
