In 2008 we had the great pleasure of creating two new services within WX education, simulation and communication skills, as well as upgrading the existing clinical skills service funded by the London Deanery and the Medical Education & Research Trust etc etc. This led to the development of a new innovative training suite encompassing the following three educational facilities.

We are currently the only District General Hospital to be lucky enough to house these facilities.

CLINICAL SKILLS

The Clinical Skills department has been established since 2000 and has earned itself an admirable reputation in teaching all grades of medical and non-medical staff.
This has been recently refurbished – it is a fresh bright facility equipped to a high standard with clinical skills models/manikins.

SIMULATION SKILLS

The simulation suite consists of a four-bedded mock ward set-up, fully equipped with oxygen, suction, monitors and infusion devices. We are the proud owners of a state of the art SIM man and SIM baby with all the supporting AV equipment to run varying fidelity scenarios.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS

The communication skills suite consists of an interview room with cameras and AV link to a larger meeting room allowing one-to-one interactions to be viewed in the larger teaching environment.

ROOM HIRE

These facilities are available for hire with or without supporting staff, manikins and AV support.
