About UNI SIM

Pioneering haptic VR training, made in the UK.

We build the simulators that train the next generation of dentists, surgeons and clinicians. Our systems combine sub-millimetre haptic feedback, photorealistic 3D rendering and evidence-based curricula to let learners practise — safely, repeatedly and measurably — before they ever touch a patient.

As an official NHS supplier and the UK's number one manufacturer of haptic and virtual reality training simulators, our hardware, software and open-source tools are used in universities, teaching hospitals and rehabilitation centres around the world.

UNI SIM is also the exclusive UK distributor of many world-leading simulation and healthcare products. Drawing on deep import and export expertise built in the post-Brexit landscape, we navigate international supply chains so our partners don't have to — bringing the best of global innovation directly to the UK market.
