Within the Centre for Simulation in Healthcare, you will have the opportunity to practice your skills in physical assessment and clinical examination, as well as responding to deterioration in the patient’s condition. You will work alone and as part of a team to manage a number of complex clinical situations. The Centre offers you the chance to practice your skills in clinical decision-making and leadership in real time, so that you will be able to evaluate how effectively you respond to clinical need. Our programmes that make use of our simulation facilities and technology enhanced learning (TEL) include:
- BSc (Hons) Acute Clinical Healthcare
- BSc (Hons) Human Physiology
- DipHE Operating Department Practice/RODP
- FdSc Speech, Language and Communication Science
- FdSc Paramedic Science
- BSc (Hons) Radiography (Diagnostic) and BSc (Hons) Radiography (Therapeutic)
The Centre also includes resources to support clinical learning in the field of radiography including:
- a state-of-the-art imaging suite
- a comprehensive electronic film library
- two FAST ultrasound scanners
- a three-dimensional virtual environment radiotherapy unit (VERT)
These facilities will allow you to gain confidence in using modern imaging equipment, similar to those found in the clinical area to practise your clinical skills on campus before venturing into the clinical environment.
