Becoming Victor: Using virtual reality in frailty education
Victor is based on a real gentleman. When you put the virtual reality glasses on you reappear in his flat, as you look around you can see football on the telly, tablets on the side to be taken, phone in the corner. Then the frailty impairments come in... mobility, vision, hearing, cognition... and you can't see what makes Victor Victor, you don't focus on one health or care need, you are all in - experiencing the vulnerability and frustration associated with living with frailty. Hundreds of learners have Become Victor during our frailty awareness and teaching. This blog shares some of what we've learnt along the way to keep people psychologically and physically safe.
