Virtual reality & simulation in healthcare

Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly integrated into healthcare to enhance patient care. When paired with simulation, VR is becoming a common tool for training and education. It immerses clinicians in realistic simulations of procedures, allowing them to practice techniques effectively and cost-efficiently.

The Virtual Reality and Simulation Summit emphasises the practical application of these technologies in current clinical practice. Rather than focusing on theoretical concepts, the summit features real-world case studies demonstrating how VR and simulation are actively improving medical practice today. Attendees will gain valuable insights into these practical benefits.

This conference will enable you to:

  • Network with colleagues who are working to implement virtual reality and simulation in healthcare
  • Understand the national context and potential
  • Improve your understanding of how we can bring virtual reality and simulation together to improve training and education of clinicians
  • Reflect on case studies in various areas where virtual reality is being implemented in clinical practice
  • Understand the practicalities of implementing virtual reality for patients in a hospital setting
  • Ensure organizational support and understand the economic case for this technology
  • Understand how the use of simulation can improve patient care
  • Understand how simulation involving virtual patients can improve training efficiency and cut costs communication skills

Learn from case studies including:

  • learning to spot signs of sepsis
  • preparing children for surgery
  • supporting recovery from major-trauma
  • training future pharmacists.
