​"The new simulation labs at Academia have increased the range of simulation for clinical scenarios. They also allow scenarios involving multi-disciplines, different medical specialties and nursing teams, so that soft skills like teamwork and communications skills can be learnt and enhanced. I have used all the different training labs for groups of doctors from mixed backgrounds and also for Anaesthesiology residents. The feedback from participants have been positive as the labs incorporate realism that prepares them for real-like scenarios."​
