Welcome to our equipment page, which will profile some of the state of the art equipment in use in our Training Institution.
To go straight to a category of equipment, click on any of the images below.
We firmly believe that anybody who completes CPR & AED Training should be given the opportunity to train on more than one type of AED. As a result, we use a selection of different AED Trainers on our courses. These include:
CR+ AED Trainer |
This AED Trainer is designed to allow participants experience using the Medtronic CR Plus AED. It is fully programmed with a number of clinical scenarios, including both shockable and non-shockable rhythms. Additionally, instructors can use the remote control to amend the current scenario in response to students' actions and the appropriate patient response. The trainer also features a range of "errors", which replicate the problems that students might encounter in "real life" when using a live AED. We have four of these units for use on our training courses and sessions. |

Obstetrics Manikin |
The whole area of Obstetrics is a complicated and in-depth topic. In order to facilitate appropriate practice of the stages of childbirth, our manikin has interchangeable, anatomically-correct dilation simulators. This allows our students to gain a greater understanding of the stages that a delivering mother progresses through. The manikin also features a simulated placenta and a neonate model, including an umbilical cord. We couple this model with Maternity Kits, which ensures that our students get to practice delivery of a baby using the equipment that will generally be available to them on an ambulance. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IV Training Arm - Adult |
When it comes to medication administration, it is of utmost importance for current and future practitioners to be able to practice the safe and effective delivery of medications. Given the highly specialised nature of IV (Intra-Venous) Injections, we ensure that our students are given ample opportunities to practice getting this skill right. Our IV Injection trainer models are Full-Arm models, allowing multiple sites to be practiced. These models feature:
We chose the models that we use to ensure suitability for our students and to make sure that they can be suitability cleaned between uses. We couple these models with a variety of medications, syringes, needles, preparation swabs and sharps disposal containers. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IM Training Model |
When it comes to medication administration, it is of utmost importance for current and future practitioners to be able to practice the safe and effective delivery of medications. Given the highly specialised nature of IM (Intra-Muscular) Injections, we ensure that our students are given ample opportunities to practice getting this skill right. Our IM Injection trainer models can be worn by students, so that injections are practiced in situ, as opposed to simply being practiced on table top models or on oranges. These models feature:
We couple these models with a variety of medications, syringes, needles, preparation swabs and sharps disposal containers. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IO Training Leg - Infant |
Our Infant Intraosseous Training Legs are designed to allow students practice the siting and establishment of IO Access in an infant patient. The realism of the model allows for appropriate skills to be developed for "in the field" application. The pad where the IO Access is established can be replaced, which ensures that students can get a fresh "patient" on each course, preventing the issue of students just skipping the landmarking process and just "going straight for the previous mark". We couple these models with a variety of medications, syringes, needles, preparation swabs and sharps disposal containers. |
|
The safety of all personnel involved in treating patients is of paramount importance. As a result, we take our role as a Manual/Patient Handling Training Institution extremely seriously. This involves ensuring that we have a range of handling aids available so that we can make sure that our training courses are as comprehensive as possible.
Lateral Transfer Board |
We have two primary types of lateral transfer board that we use during training courses/sessions. These boards are designed to be bridges between two surfaces and are low friction barriers between the patient and the surface that they are on/going to be on. These boards represent the most common styles in use, as well as covering a range of patient weights. Students get to see the difference between standard and bariatric versions of the boards. |
|
Pat-Slide |
We have two types of lateral transfer board that we use during training courses/sessions. These slides are designed to be low friction barriers between the patient and the surface that they are on/going to be on. Students get to see the difference between manoeuvres carried out with the slides and ones carried out without the slides. |
|
Slide Sheets |
We stock a large selection of slide sheets for use during training courses/sessions. These sheets are designed to be low friction barriers between the patient and the surface that they are on/going to be on. This greatly reduces the risk of injury to the person carrying out the manual handling, by decreasing the effort required to carry out the manoeuvre. |
|
Handling Belts |
We have a selection of Handling Belts, including a number of different sizes. These belts are designed to be adjustable, so that each belt can cater for a large range of body shapes and weights. The inside of the belt is designed to be a high friction surface, ensuring that the risk of the belt slipping on the patient is greatly reduced, if not totally eliminated. The belt features grab handles, which allows the person carrying out the manoeuvres to maintain a firm palmer grip. |
|
Patient Hoist |
As part of our Patient Handling/Moving People courses, we cover the use of Patient Hoists. In order to facilitate this training, we have a patient hoist that allows students to practice the general procedures involved in moving a patient using a hoist. |
|
Spinal Model |
When it comes to Manual Handling and Patient Handling training, it is vital that students understand the importance of a healthy spinal column and what can go wrong if proper back health is not maintained. We use our spinal column model to show the variances in spinal vertebra anatomy by comparing the different sections of the spine. The model also shows a prolapsed disc ("Slipped Disc"), so that students can see the difference between a healthy, functional disc and one that has prolapsed. |
