Sheffield Hallam University

UK Nursing education includes 2300 hours of clinical learning. Up to 600 hours can be simulated. There are many simulation options for clinical skills but few for soft skills, such as communication skills and empathy.

In 2022, Digital Energy supported the SHU with the deployment of Bodyswaps.  Almost 2000 students accessed the modules with incredible feedback.

The initial deployment was delivered using students’ own devices with personalised logins automatically distributed. In 2023 SHU purchased 20 pre-configured VR headsets with accessories, charging trollies and maintenance services.
