Today is World Health Day 🌍

The 'Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures' @WHO campaign calls for stronger efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths and support women's long-term health.

Did you know that every 7 seconds, a woman or newborn dies or a baby is lost to stillbirth?

Both the Luna & Lucina patient simulators can help to better this. They offer a depth of different features, so that you can cover different levels of scenarios in your teaching/training.

It's crucial to give your students the skills they need to deliver high-quality care that supports women physically and emotionally before, during and after birth.

Find out how we can help you to do this. View more about Luna & Lucina on our website here 👇🏻

This weekend is International Women’s Day and we’re proud that over half of our team are women 🧍🏻‍♀️💗

Recognising the importance of women in the workplace, and even more so in your teaching, is crucial.

Your students need to learn about different patients and the various situations that could occur, such as childbirth.

Introducing Lucina…👋🏻

Lucina is a childbirth simulator that helps to deliver an immersive prepartum and postpartum training experience.

She is designed for everyday care and difficult deliveries, resulting in a true multidisciplinary education experience.
