In an exciting development at London South Bank Technical College, students enrolled in the Health Care stream are immersing themselves in state-of-the-art technology as they undergo training with advanced patient simulators. This innovative approach to education is equipping future health care professionals with the skills and experience they need to excel in their careers.
Under the guidance of experienced faculty members, students are utilising high-fidelity CAE patient simulators to simulate real-life medical scenarios. From infant to adult cases, these simulators accurately mimic human physiology, allowing students to practice critical skills in a safe and controlled environment.
One of the highlights of their training is the use of the CAE Ares emergency-care manikin. Muscle injection sites, a realistic breathing system, and a difficult airway are just a few of the practical features packed into this high-fidelity simulator. With two-way communication between the operator and learner, students can actively engage in the learning process and refine their emergency-care skills.
Another key component of the training is the CAE Lucina simulator, which delivers an all-in-one simulation experience for maternity care. Designed to demonstrate both gravid and non-gravid scenarios, this wireless manikin allows students to practice proper prepartum, labour, delivery, and postpartum care. By interacting with lifelike patient models, students gain valuable experience in maternal health care, preparing them for real-world situations.
The training is part of the Level 3 T Levels in Health offered at London South Bank Technical College. Students enrolled in these courses, whether they're supporting adult nursing teams or midwifery teams, benefit from hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology. Through a combination of academic study and real-world work placements, students develop the technical skills and specialised knowledge required for their chosen career paths.
Our goal is to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities they'll encounter in the field of health care. By incorporating advanced simulators into our training curriculum, we're ensuring that our students graduate with the confidence and competence to excel in their roles. The use of advanced simulators has received positive feedback from students, who appreciate the hands-on learning experience it offers.
As London South Bank Technical College continues to innovate in health care education, students can look forward to further advancements in training methods and technology. With a focus on practical, real-world experience, the college is preparing the next generation of health care professionals to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
