Learn how to safely evacuate plus-size patients from challenging locations, from narrow staircases to confined rooms, while ensuring the patient’s dignity and safety.
Fire Services
Equip your team with the skills to handle emergency evacuations involving plus-size individuals, practising safe extraction techniques in real-world environments like bathrooms and bedrooms.
Funeral Homes
Our training centre provides a safe and respectful space to practise handling deceased plus-size individuals, ensuring that dignity and care are prioritised throughout the process.
No matter your field, our centre offers the opportunity to enhance your skills, improve safety practices, and gain confidence in handling complex and challenging scenarios.
Tour the Centre
Centre For Excellence
In high-pressure situations, split-second decisions can make all the difference in patient care. Effective training goes beyond teaching the basics—it equips staff with the confidence and skills to act decisively, no matter the challenge. Our immersive learning suite is designed to prepare caregivers for the unexpected, ensuring they’re ready for worst-case scenarios and capable of delivering the best possible care.
The Learning Zone
A bright, versatile space that adapts to your needs. While not a fixed classroom, this area has been developed as a flexible training zone — ideal for theory sessions, workshops, or small group learning.
It supports a range of formats including boardroom, classroom, or open discussion layouts. This adaptable area complements the hands-on spaces within the Centre For Excellence, giving you more room to train, teach, or collaborate.
Advanced Hospital Ward Setup
Our training room is fully equipped to replicate a real hospital ward, complete with gantry hoists, mobile hoists, specialised beds, chairs, and on-bed equipment. This authentic environment allows you to practice patient transfers, equipment handling, and complex care scenarios in a setting that mirrors the demands of acute hospital care.
Confined Spaces,
Critical Solutions
Navigate tight, confined bedrooms, extract patients from around beds, or manage evacuations down adjoining staircases. Every scenario is designed to sharpen your risk assessment abilities and develop safe, effective practices under pressure.
Challenging Stairwell
Tackle the challenge of navigating tight, winding staircases, designed to replicate the complexities often encountered in real-world scenarios. This simulated environment equips you with the skills and confidence to manage even the most difficult patient movements. By practising in these realistic conditions, you’ll enhance your ability to perform safe, effective evacuations and transfers, building both competence and assurance to face these challenges head-on.
Complex Bathroom Scenarios
Handle high-stakes situations like rescuing a patient from a bath, shower, or even a fall near the toilet in our fully equipped bathroom simulation. These critical skills are often the difference between success and failure in real-world care settings.
The Main Studio
Our newly expanded Studio Room is a flexible, open-plan training environment designed to adapt to your needs. With exposed beams, great natural light, and full AV capability, this space is ideal for:
-
First Aid and Manual Handling training
-
Classroom sessions (boardroom, theatre, or U-shape layouts)
-
Equipment demonstrations, including hoists and beds
-
Meetings, strategy days, and collaborative workshops
