For years, like most centres, we used expired prescription-only medicines (POMs) in training: old adrenaline minijets, leftover ampoules, out-of-date stock. It felt realistic. But when we built ResusPro, we paused. There are real issues. POMs are tightly regulated in supply, storage and disposal. Some drugs damage manikins. Using expired medicines subtly normalises unsafe practice. And […]

People often ask about the manikins we use at ResusPro. For major trauma, we use hyper-realistic Simbodies models – detailed, procedurally capable platforms that replicate severe injury with striking visual fidelity. For cardiac arrest and post-ROSC care, we primarily use ATLAS ALS simulators – robust, physiologically responsive systems designed for high-quality CPR, airway management and

So our ResusPro resus rooms have phones and computers too. But we hadn’t initially thought about two important things: Who do we communicate with, and what do they say? Real-life comms aren’t neat.
