About the Zorglab 360° Care Lab

This high-tech facility features three multi-functional 'Labs' designed to cater to students, instructors, researchers, and professionals in the healthcare field. The Zorglab aims to foster cross-disciplinary interactions and bridge gaps between research, service delivery, and education. It provides a safe environment for aspiring healthcare and wellness workers to master non-technical skills within an interprofessional context. The lab also serves as a hub for researchers and professionals looking to refine their practices or develop new methodologies, particularly in enhancing non-technical skills such as teamwork, leadership, situation awareness and communication.
