Educational techniques continue to evolve in medicine and with the introduction of synthetics and robotics into our maternity learning and development suite, it means that our staff through simulated role play with an interactive robot, can develop their skills, can review the recording of their work and decisions and refine so many challenging situations that can arise through childbirth.

Our specialist birthing mama 'Victoria' can give birth again and again, in a safe learning environment, our midwives can practice so many differing situations from normal births to a breach birth or other complex needs requiring confident decision making.

This advanced robotic technology can replicate scenario's that previously could only be learned through attending a real patient giving birth - our synthetic Gaumard manikin 'Victoria'' helps instill confidence in the learners ability and their decision making, plus, if staff want to practice a technique again, within minutes Victoria is always ready, willing and able to 'give birth all over again'.
