Dummy patient helps train medics in Berkshire

A new operating theatre, set up to train medical staff in Berkshire, features one of the most advanced dummy patients so trainees can carry out mock operations. The pupils react to light, and it has breath and heart sounds, allowing any type of emergency to be simulated. The idea is to recreate emergencues that medics don't usually see. 

BBC South's health correspondent David Fenton had a go on the dummy, who has been named Davina. Watch the BBC report at http://tinyurl.com/yzxlxra
