Manresa was the setting for an annual emergency simulation that tested 50 postgraduate health students from UManresa’s School of Health. The exercise, organised by the UVic-UCC Manresa campus, is designed to prepare students for critical situations they may face in their professional work.
This year’s drill staged a collision between a car and a coach, with multiple casualties. The officials who set up the exercise said the students’ response was satisfactory, and that they handled the emergency effectively.
The simulation is part of a regular training programme that puts theoretical knowledge and practical skills under pressure. It is intended to mirror the pace and coordination needed in a real emergency, including decision-making and patient care.
For readers following education and health training across Catalonia, this kind of exercise shows how local institutions prepare future professionals for real-world demands. See also our news coverage for more Catalonia-wide updates.
UManresa and UVic-UCC use these drills to assess training and improve future sessions. The aim is to help ensure that graduates can respond calmly and competently when genuine emergencies arise.
