SuppoRTT Immersive Technology Resources The following are immersive technology resources which are aimed at a wide range of medical and surgical trainees, and can be accessed from home using a mobile phone or computer. They can also be used for group simulation and learning sessions. Many resources contain interactive immersive components; these can be viewed using just a computer screen, however for a more interactive experience you can use a VR headset. Remote Consultation: an immersive technology resource This is an online e-learning and immersive 360 degree video resource based around a remote consultation. It was originally developed with shielding/displaced trainees in mind, however this will be a useful resource for anyone consulting remotely. It addresses key skills including communication, using the multidisciplinary team, clinical management and safeguarding, as well as offering the opportunity to 'step inside' the consultation from the patient's perspective! https://learninghub.nhs.uk/Resource/2323/Item
Three new immersive technology resources were launched in December 2021 which are a set of engaging interactive training resources including immersive 360-degree video scenarios, designed to help improve those essential human factor skills required to lead and be part of an effective team. Although the resources were developed for trainees who have taken time out of training, they are helpful to anyone who wants to learn more about effective teamworking.
These resources can be found at: https://learninghub.nhs.uk/Resource/6732/Item Escalating Concerns and Speaking Up This resource is for people returning to work in the NHS after any prolonged absence.
