Test OR

Testing safety, processes and spatial concepts – without interfering with hospital operations.

The test OR meets the standards of a modern operating theatre. Highly realistic simulations under authentic conditions are made possible through the use of the materials, furnishings and equipment true to the original as well as the faithful replication of lighting and noise conditions.

Planners, medical professionals, medical technology companies and builders work with the SCDH’s experts to analyse and optimise workflows, OP layouts and medical devices. Teams organise training and professional development events – without interfering with clinic operations.
