What is there? Who can use it?
The EMAC Educational Suite comprises of a faculty office/meeting room and a series of teaching rooms, including an ultrasound training room, a tutorial room, a clinical-skills room, an adult resuscitation simulation room and a paediatric resuscitation simulation room. Located in the main building the University Hospital of Wales the EMAC Educational Suite is freely available to all Cardiff University staff/students and AWSEM trainers/trainees.
The resuscitation simulation rooms are both fully equipped. Use of the ‘Prometheus’ infant, paediatric or adult manikins for procedures such as clamshell thoracotomy or front of neck access will incur a cost (please email: EMAcademicCentre@cardiff.ac.uk), however, standard manikins are available.
