We create state-of-the-art simulation centres for hospital training
Our centres are complete training facilities that incorporate our Extended Reality Lab (ERL) with supporting rooms and equipment.
The ERL is physical room where all four walls display edge-to-edge, floor-to-ceiling video, allowing the room to simulate any environment. It’s Extended Reality (XR), not Virtual Reality (VR) – no headset or glasses required. This creates a vastly more meaningful and effective experience for trainees.
Our simulations surround trainees 360 degrees. All 4 walls of the ERL are transformed by an advanced projection system, allowing any environment to be simulated.
Each environment is a 360 degree high-resolution video recording from a real medical setting, giving trainees an experience that will truly translate to their future practice.
Choose from a national library of medical environments, from helicopter to CT scanner. Move beyond ward-based static room training to real-time journeys and scenarios.
Once the simulation centre is operational, your hospital can connect to the Connected Simulation Network (CSN), allowing real-time collaboration with other hospitals.
The ERL can be configured to monitor what trainees do and even what they look at, making it the ideal platform both for dedicated research and the improvement of training methodology.
Mixed reality systems such as HoloLens can be connected to the ERL, allowing remote trainees or consultants to be included in simulations and feel as if they are really there with the other participants.
The ERL was designed with interest from HEE (now NHS England) alongside clinicians at UK hospitals.
Feedback has shown that clinicians find our simulations so engaging, they lose the sense of being in a simulator entirely. Trainees who have never set foot in a busy emergency department feel they have really experienced it.
By taking medical simulation out of the busy hospital and into an education centre – while still allowing exposure to real scenarios – training programmes can be streamlined and accelerated.
International trainees can familiarise themselves with the job in advance. Travelling doctors can develop situation awareness before being deployed. The ERL enables a whole new class of high-fidelity training simulations.
