Nursing and Midwifery Simulated Learning Facilities
Our centre of excellence for simulation-based learning
Our investment in high-tech training
Middlesex University has invested £24 million in a state-of-the art training centre located in the West Stand at StoneX Stadium, home of Saracens Rugby. This centre of excellence for simulation-based learning sets us apart, offering cutting edge technology that connects academic theory with real world professional skills across health and social care.
Our high-tech simulation suites link the theories of the classroom with the practice of treating patients in a hospital environment with:
- The latest simulators for you to practice realistic emergency care situations and hospital scenarios
- Life-like mannequins that can simulate symptoms, diseases and conditions you'll encounter as a working nurse
- Video recorders so you can receive evidence-based feedback from students and teachers watching you practice.
If you would like to visit and tour our facilities please contact either Dr Cariona Flaherty - c.b.flaherty@mdx.ac.uk - Head of Nursing and Midwifery or Fiona Suthers - f.suthers@mdx.ac.uk - Head of Clinical Skills.
