Student nurses take part in air crash simulation

Nursing students from the University of Dundee took centre stage during a major airplane crash simulation this week as they played victims and survivors for Dundee Airport’s ‘Airex’ exercise.

More than 40 students from the University’s Nursing degrees took up their roles during the simulation to help the accident and emergency services control the simulated incident. With more than five emergency services and agencies present, the students helped test the initial response times and got a front row seat to see the rescue tactics employed.
