There are two consulting rooms, four in-patient wards with 16 cubicles, an operating theatre with four cubicles, an intensive care unit with four cubicles, a lecture hall for 130 people, three multi-purpose rooms and a control room. The unit also has simulators for assessing humans, clinical skills simulators, equipment for procedural activities, clinical software for individual and group training and a video recording system.

The unit permits theoretical knowledge to be integrated with clinical practice in a safe environment without risk to the patient. Throughout these new facilities, professional ethics are applied to all clinical procedures, the capacity for practical decision-making and the communication skills required for an ideal relationship between the doctor or nurse and the patient.

Dr Albert Balaguer, Dean of the university's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, maintained that “these new facilities reflect our desire to continue promoting active and practical training for healthcare professionals and fostering patient safety”.
