A new hospital-style training ward has opened to give aspiring healthcare workers the chance to learn in a setting which feels like the real thing.
Exeter College has launched Bakers Ward at its Hele Road campus, complete with eight beds, lifelike patient mannequins and hospital-grade equipment.
The ward was to be used by adult learners, apprentices and students on T-level and higher education courses, alongside two new life sciences labs where students could carry out practical work, course bosses said.
It has been developed with the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Exeter.
