By adding training modules geared towards specific learning objectives, like postsurgical mastectomy care, it becomes easy to upgrade Nursing Annes basic platform so that the model of an adult female patient is complete. Choose between the following training modules:

• Mastectomy module
• Breast exam module
• Fundus massage module
• Wound care and assesment module

By using SimPad PLUS along with pre- programmed scenarios you ensure consistent, standardized training.

This allows students and teachers to repeat the same situation again and again, establishing correct patient care every time.

It is possible to purchase a number of pre-programmed scenarios, specially developed for use with Nursing Anne. Many of these scenarios are specifically geared towards women's health.
