Nurses to hone skills on robots

NURSES are to hone their techniques on robot patients after a new medical training centre opened at the Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

The Scottish Clinical Simulation Centre, in Larbert, Falkirk, allows NHS staff and students to practise in simulated operating theatres.

The family of seven robots includes 'Stan', who can respond to anaesthetic gases and is used to train anaesthetists.
