The excellent facilities in the Clinical Education Centre ensure that students are taught the practical skills of nursing using innovative strategies as follows:

Simulation-Based Learning

The use of simulation-based learning provides a safe and effective approach to prepare students for the challenges of nursing practice. Students are exposed to a variety of patient scenarios that replicate the dynamic realism of the healthcare setting.

The use of sophisticated, computer-based human patient simulators, allow students to manage complex and challenging nursing situations in a safe and controlled environment.

Here’s a multimedia presentation on the use of simulation. (Requires Internet Explorer)

Online Reusable Learning Resources

A collection of online videos focusing on fundamental nursing skills are continually available to students.

These resources can be viewed from any location and have been positively evaluated by existing students.

Audiovisual System

The audiovisual system contained in the Clinical Education Centre allows students to video record themselves practising clinical nursing skills.

Students can then view the results instantly on-line or on a variety of portable formats.
