"We combine the world of virtual reality and healthcare"
In the VReduMED project, we are researching VR solutions to enrich nursing education and, among other things, developing recommendations for transferring the project results to the nursing education systems of the regions/countries. A concise summary of nursing education has been created for each partner country of the project, primarily highlighting key nursing professions and the associated educational paths, but also mentioning programs for specific target groups or unusually structured qualification programs:
Aimed at solving the practical challenges of providing hands-on, quality nursing education, we rely on the theoretical knowledge and lived experiences of care education lecturers, teachers and trainers.
To gain deeper insights into nursing education, interviews with experts in this field were conducted using an interview guide, documented in writing, and published as articles in the VReduMED Online Magazine:
