Event details
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.
