This E-Learning course will provide educators and trainers with all the tools necessary to implement the VRHealthLeaders training programme in their institution. It outlines the theoretical foundations of the
project and the overarching theory that supports the selection of the 6 teaching and learning scenarios. The framework is outlined in detail along with the learning outcomes assigned to each scenario. The technology we have used is described for those unfamiliar with virtual reality while an implementation guide is provided outlining how our products can be used in the classroom, online and via blended learning methods.
Digital solutions have the potential to radically transform education. Using virtual reality as a primary tool for leadership training can improve healthcare systems by broadening the experiences of healthcare leaders thus providing better outcomes, services and quality to patients across the EU and beyond. Virtual reality simulation offers educators the chance to provide students with experiential learning that would otherwise not be available to them.
This project uses virtual reality to increase the leadership capabilities of future healthcare managers and policy makers using public health crises as the key theme of the training programme. Leadership education within healthcare is vital to healthcare systems. Health professionals are dealing with constant changes to both the systems they work in and the patients they serve. Equipping the health workforce with the skills to deal with this change is of pressing importance for educators, researchers, and policy makers.
