Bespoke Training

We also offer bespoke training packages tailored to your organisation’s needs. You can hire our facilities, experienced clinical staff and specialist equipment to deliver your own training or co-create a course with us.

What Facilities Are Available?

Hands-On Critical Care Training

Our Skills Suite provides a dedicated space or practical training in key critical care procedures, including:

  • Arterial and invasive access
  • Airway management

Equipped with modern teaching aids, this versatile suite is available for hire. Choose from pre-designed packages or work with our educators to develop a bespoke programme, including access to manikins and clinical facilitators.

Simulated Real-World Scenarios

Train in our Immersive Suite, featuring a resuscitation bay set to the same standards as a major trauma centre. With adaptable spaces that can replicate environments like a police custody suite or a swimming pool, and access to outdoor areas for scenarios such as car extrication, we ensure your training feels as close to real-life situations as possible.

Realistic Ambulance Simulations

Experience training in our fully equipped Simbulance, a replica frontline NHS vehicle. Complete with standard ambulance equipment and a Stryker Power-PRO stretcher, it replicates the challenges of working in confined spaces to enhance your skills.

Our classroom offers state-of-the-art audiovisual technology and multifunctional layouts. With a capacity of up to 24 people and the option to divide the space into smaller rooms, this area is ideal for meetings, training sessions, or boardroom-style events.

We provide access to the latest technology and equipment, including:

  • Portable ultrasound
  • iSimulate training monitors

Low and High-Fidelity Procedures

Our diverse family of manikins enables candidates to practice a wide range of both low and high-fidelity skills, including:

  • Airway management, including difficult airways
  • Arterial and invasive access
  • Thoracostomy and thoracotomy
  • Obstetric emergencies

Ranging from pre-term babies to senior and bariatric manikins, all are fully intubatable to support advanced airway training. We can also simulate a variety of injuries to enhance realism in scenario-based learning.

For procedural training, we offer access to medical meat where required; however, as standard, we now use medical pastry to replicate skin for practical procedures.
