[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The Results
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The Results: 1. Previous experience “ If you find out who’s actually got experience of using that kind of technology and then like say suit training to people’s needs”
The Results: 2. Realism and communication “ It was actually quite like the ward I was on so it prepared me a lot.” “ You’ve got so much running through your mind at that point about what you need to do and delegate, you just  don’t think “it’s just the lecturers playing with me in the other room”, so you just get on with it as if it was a real  scenario.” “ I think there was an aspect of it that was so unreal that I couldn’t take it seriously…  I felt there was someone else controlling you…an element of Big Brother about it”
[object Object],The Results: Realism (cont) “ on a ward you’re using different senses and I felt that couldn’t be encompassed in the virtual reality of it” “ there’s all the non-verbal communication that you can’t encompass in that kind of thing….just holding someone’s hand…” “ it would cut down on the biz on screen….and I  think it would definitely have benefited from using sound cause these are the senses that you use. You can be doing one thing but you are actually listening”.
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The Results: 3. Role of other students/qualified staff “ yeah I think there has to be  scope to include it so that it’s  beneficial to both sides as a teaching and a learning experience”
[object Object],The Results: 4. Feedback “  yeah I think it helped a lot with confidence of just knowing that I’m making the right decisions but  maybe that came after when we were discussing it again”.
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The Results: 5. Decision-making “ we don’t just make decisions in third year and we don’t just make them under stress and I think maybe we need to be introduced to the idea earlier on and  know that you’re actually doing it, you might not realise you’re doing it….building confidence in  decision-making could maybe start earlier on….”
