Testimonials from Observers of Our Facility:
Sixth Former considering medicine as a career
To observe the simulation was a real treat and an experience that I am lucky to have gone through. Being in that environment really helps to put to bed any worries or superstitions about what doctors are like and help to humanise them. The simulator is also a great way of seeing all the emotional side and how to interact with patients and how the other doctors help each other to continuously learn and be the best Dr prossible.
