"The facilities at UWS are also absolutely fantastic. We use integrated technology to make sure patient safety is kept paramount.
We use mannequins that can mimic human responses – for example, they can speak, blink, change breaths - really amazing technology. But if we get something wrong, it's about learning from it and reflecting on it and then going into practice and being that safe, all-rounded student nurse".
