This week Secretary of NSW Ministry of Health, Elizabeth Koff, officially opened brand new state-of-the-art nursing and midwifery laboratories at UTS.

The new facilities provide the most "high fidelity" practice learning experiences "outside of a clinical placement" according to Dean of the Faculty of Health Professor John Daly.

"Our new nursing and midwifery facilities are simply exceptional," he said.  "Each space has been purposefully designed to provide a realistic and safe learning environment."

During the opening Ms Koff highlighted the need for continued investment in the healthcare sector and the importance to future nurses and midwives of practising their skills in a risk-free environment.
