Summary:
- Demand in NHS mental health services is at an all-time high, and cutting-edge VR simulations are being developed in partnership with Virti to help train frontline staff in diversity and inclusion.
- VR is helping to reduce barriers to training such as access and cost, to help overcome systemic inequities
- The tech has been shown to improve performance by up to 230%, and it is hoped that it will help speed up D&I training, improve patient outcomes and tackle racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in mental health care provision.
- This project is further evidence of a growing appetite for data-backed VR training in the healthcare sector
