Griffith Clinical School

Medical training facilities rely on realistic simulation environments to prepare students for real-world clinical settings. These environments often replicate hospital infrastructure, including oxygen outlets and patient-bed services used in teaching and assessment.

At the Rural Medical School, compressed air is used to:

• Operate medical training mannequins used for clinical simulation
• Simulate hospital-style oxygen outlets located at patient bed spaces
• Support consistent, reliable operation of training equipment during teaching sessions
  

The challenge was delivering a compressed air system that provided dependable performance, operated safely within an education environment, and supported uninterrupted training activities.

QCAS designed and installed a new compressed air system tailored to the specific requirements of the clinical training facility.

The scope of work included:

• Installation of a new compressor sized to support clinical simulation demands
• Design and installation of supporting Air Lines to distribute compressed air to training areas
• Ensuring the system delivered stable pressure suitable for simulated oxygen outlets and training equipment
• Completing all works with a strong focus on safety, compliance, and suitability for an education environment
  

QCAS worked carefully within the active learning facility to ensure installation activities were coordinated and disruption to teaching schedules was minimised.

The completed compressed air system provides the Rural Medical School with a reliable and fit-for-purpose air supply that supports hands-on medical training.

Key outcomes include:

• Consistent operation of medical training mannequins and simulation equipment
• Reliable compressed air supply to simulated hospital oxygen outlets
• Improved confidence in system safety and performance
• A professionally installed system designed to support long-term training needs
  

The installation supports Griffith University’s commitment to delivering high-quality medical education in regional and rural settings.
