Laerdal Medical and Gener8 Agreement

Laerdal Medical UK and Gener8 are excited to announce a working collaboration in the UK to enhance simulation training through the use of a blended learning interactive simulation suite. 

Laerdal House, Orpington, 3rd February, 2025

Patient simulation is a critical component of training healthcare providers for the realities of practice without posing risks to real patients. Laerdal Medical, a leader in patient simulation, and Gener8, a leader in blended learning interactive simulation suites, today announced a partnership.

As part of the working collaboration, Laerdal will become the sole distributor of the Gener8 BLIS suites in the UK.

James Buchanan, Managing Director for Laerdal UK said "A BLIS suite not only offers the opportunity to replicate a complex external environment within an institutions facility, it additionally supports a deeper level of learning during all simulations with increased fidelity and interactivity."
BLIS suite has been created to enhance the student experience for Hospital, University, EMS and Military healthcare education & simulation.


Creating a more memorable blended learning experience with a combination of:

Access to dynamic didactic interactive learning with creative content.
Designed to meet curriculum and mandatory education needs.
Immersion into simulated environments where healthcare professionals may practice.
BLIS suite enhances the capabilities of those who teach and allows traditional methods to be incorporated within this mixed reality space.

Graham Chadwick, Founder of Gener8 said “This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity for both Laerdal and Gener8. More importantly a Gener8 space will provide Laerdal customers with a unique space from where they can maximise the use of the entire Laerdal range of both products and services.

By adding Blended Learning Interactive Simulation to their teaching programs their learning outputs will be significantly increased."
