Title:

Topic C - Extended reality XR

Description:

Most people are familiar with virtual reality headsets, but immersive technologies describe a much wider set of tools and technologies used to support the delivery of education and training in healthcare.

XR is an umbrella term encompassing a range of technologies designed to blend digital and physical worlds.

These technologies create immersive experiences that enhance learning, training, and patient care in healthcare settings.

Recommended CPD points / hours per topic.

• Core Topics - 7
• Topic A - Simulation technicians - 1
• Topic B - Evaluation in simulation-based practice - 2
• Topic C - Extended reality XR - 2
• Topic D - Simulated participants - 2

Many professional bodies now ask you to record CPD in hours and to reflect on what changed in your practice, rather than collecting “points”. If your professional body still uses points/credits, you can usually record 1 point for each CPD hour, unless your body states otherwise.
