A state-of-the-art learning centre has opened at the University of West London's Reading Campus. Anthony Woodman, Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of West London: "The idea of what these are is mannequins which, not only in terms of how they respond, have very complex algorithms in the software. "We're able to make them respond in a different way depending on how our student midwives respond. "It means there is an ability to get more and more hands on experience."
