Immersive technology in healthcare training & education

EN BREF ...

"The COVID-19 pandemic has seen the return of retired healthcare workers and the redeployment of thousands of staff and students to the frontline. The challenges of delivering training and education in healthcare have never been more pronounced. The enhanced requirements for infection prevention and control have highlighted the challenges of education and training approaches that rely so heavily on master-apprentice models, face-to-face delivery and patient access. Digital simulation is commonly used across a number of industries to make systems resilient to extreme surges in demand, crisis management and the need for rapid and continuous reconfiguration of services in response to dynamic risks1. The emergence of a new generation of digital simulation tools known as “immersive technologies” presents opportunities that could address many of the difficulties faced by educators and learners across the healthcare system today and in doing so fundamentally transform the future delivery of training and education."
