How we teach

Manikins, part-task trainers, VR and in-situ practice.

Our sessions run on high-fidelity manikins, part-task trainers for procedural skills, and immersive VR stations — supported by trained faculty and, where a scenario calls for it, professional actors playing patients or colleagues.

Every scenario ends in a structured debrief. We rate performance formatively, never as a pass/fail test — the goal is safer practice back on the ward, not a score.

Non-technical skills — communication, teamwork, situation awareness — are behind the majority of safety incidents. Simulation is where our staff get to practise them, safely, before it matters on a ward.
