High fidelity simulation labs
Four state-of-the-art nursing and midwifery labs are equipped for higher fidelity simulation of a range of clinical scenarios. The adjoining control rooms or control points allow teaching staff to remotely alter simulated patient states, observe students' responses and digitally record activities via ceiling cameras and microphones. One room can be partly closed off to allow a scenario to be enacted and recorded in one part of the room and other students to view live footage in the other part of the room.
The video cameras in the maternity and children's-focused facility area and the high fidelity simulation lab all feed into one integrated system. From the control areas, teaching staff can monitor students' skills and use the video facilities for recording and use in student debriefing. Video streaming to adjoining areas within and across campuses and to other external sites is also possible via internet protocol.
