Once again, more than 4,000 babies have been born at Surrey Memorial Hospital over the past year.

But in the case of two special babies, it was the hospital receiving – not delivering – them.

They are SimBabies: realistic simulation dolls that allow the Emergency and Neonatal Intensive Care departments to practice medical scenarios so they can function smoothly as a team when the real thing occurs.

The SimBabies have heartbeats, make breathing sounds, and can display a multitude of symptoms that prompt our health professionals into action.

The high-tech dolls were both purchased with the help of donors, led by transport company Diamond Delivery, which organized a company fundraiser in support of the SimBaby.
