The Swindon & Wiltshire Innovative Technology Care Hub (SWITCH) is a collaboration between New College Swindon and ourselves to enhance and upskill health and social care staff across Swindon, Wiltshire and beyond.
SWITCH will accelerate skills development in health, care and life science through technical innovation and aims to upskill learners by embedding reality technology to offer unparalleled simulation activities across a broad provision. We will have learning hubs within both New College Swindon and Wiltshire College & University Centre.

For example, we have several clinical manikins that can be used to create a variety of Simulated Clinical Experiences (SCE). These are scenarios which can incorporate your company’s learning objectives and can be tailored situations to suit your training needs for example, end of life care or controlling infections.
