The facility is equipped with advanced simulation technology, including high-specification training mannequins, enabling students to practise essential clinical and lifesaving skills in a safe, supervised environment. Unsing practical scenarios, students can develop their competence, communication, teamwork and professional judgement to prepare them to work in healthcare settings.

NMBI would like to congratulate Principal Catherine Fox and colleagues at Dunboyne College and wish them every success in helping to prepare students for diverse and rewarding careers in healthcare.
