“What’s special about this, it has lots of layers to it where we’re creating real emotions, real patients that doctors, nurses, students can all train with in a safe fashion as many times as they need to to become more competent,” he added.
He said that poor communication between patients and staff can not only mean patients do not get everything they need, it can also cost the NHS money.
“There’s the rapport building, there’s sometimes the lack of detail we get from a patient which creates the misdiagnosis,” he said.
