Last week Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) make-up and Bournemouth University (BU) medical students collaborated on a zombie apocalypse simulation to expose paramedic, nursing, and mental health students to a high intensity situation, replicating a real-life mass casualty incident.

This large training session was held at BU’s Studland House building, with the incident replicating the aftermath of an apparent zombie attached in an underground car park.

Second and third year make-up for media and performance students from AUB providing some very realistic injuries for the actors within the simulation.

The event was covered by a BBC news report, which provides additional details and reactions.
