FY1 VR Simulation Session 

A 3 hour VR simulation course for Addenbrooke's Foundation Y1 doctors

Using a custom built system and Oculus Rift participate in a programmes of virtual reality simulation scenarios.   Each Foundation doctor will receive a personal OMS log-in from the Foundation school and may access the scenarios throughout the year & receive individualised feedback  The rationale is that they are 'skills and drills' scenarios for you to practice to be confident and capable when approaching similar scenarios in the workplace.
