The Midwifery Clinical Skills Laboratory is located in HSG008 has evolved into an exciting resource for midwifery learning. The lab simulates a four-bedded maternity ward and midwife station which provides a safe environment for students to simulate midwifery practice using simulation resources e.g. midwifery task trainers, mannequins, delivery beds, a resuscitaire and incubator.

Resources support students in enhancing their clinical skills and knowledge in preparation for practice placement opportunities. Clinical skills teaching, learning and simulation provide students with an immersive experience to gain experience, and build confidence within this midwifery simulated environment.

The area is predominantly dedicated to BSc Midwifery and Higher Diploma Midwifery programmes but is also utilised by other programmes within the School of Nursing & Midwifery.  

There are seven nursing clinical skill laboratories - HS1-020, HS1-022, HS1-023, HS1-026, HS1-031, HS1-032 and HS1-035. These labs simulate hospital and community environments, and are equipped with a range of low, medium and high-fidelity teaching equipment. 

The layout of each lab is versatile and flexible enabling the teaching of a wide and diverse range of clinical skills. These spaces are dedicated to optimising the teaching and learning experience for students and educators by providing contemporary and flexible learning environments that support the development of clinical skills.
