St. Mary’s School of Nursing

Midwifery Schools Welcome New Birth Simulators

The simulators were supplied by the United Nations Population Fund Country Office and Laerdal Global Health (Norway).

The school’s Midwifery Coordinator, Francesca Bevi, said the simulators help her 17 students build their competence but also their confidence, as the mannequins allow students hands-on practice before they enter clinical practice. Importantly, students can make mistakes, have these corrected, and repeat their correct techniques, before attending to live births. Bevi shared that such practice is essential for women to receive the best quality of care.
