Clinical Skills and Simulation

Simulation recreates real-world scenarios at L&D, fostering a secure learning environment by replicating clinical situations. The Sim Suite, with high and low fidelity manikins, represents diverse patient scenarios, preparing learners for real-world situations. Whether training individually or in a team, learners practice essential soft skills and develop practical and technical skills to boost confidence. With our expertise and state-of-the-art facilities, learners face complex medical cases in a risk-free environment. The L&D Med ED team ensures learners are well-prepared for real-world challenges.

Explore our versatile simulation sessions, offered both in-situ and in Virtual Reality (VR).
