The initiative aims to provide support to organisations and individuals dedicated to advancing health and social care education, bridging the gap between conventional learning methods and the dynamic, complex realities of health and social care environments. Through immersive learning experiences, participants not only gain enhanced understanding and empathy but also develop practical skills and insights into the diverse career paths within the sector.

We are thrilled to have received the Health and Social Care VR Learning Grant from Care Reality

said Wendy Sheridan-Price, Head of Health, Wellbeing and Care at the College. "This grant represents a significant opportunity for us to embrace cutting-edge technology in education and enhance the learning experience of our students.

By integrating VR and XR into our curriculum, we can provide our students with practical, hands-on training that reflects the real-world challenges they will encounter in their careers.

The college plans to integrate this technology into its curriculum over the coming months. By doing so, it aims to empower its students with the latest tools and resources, ensuring they are well-prepared to excel in the dynamic field of health and social care.
