Robotic-assisted surgery has transformed what is possible in the operating theatre, but increasingly sophisticated surgical platforms also create a significant training challenge. Surgeons, nurses, operating department practitioners and technical staff may all need to understand different parts of the same system, from console controls and patient-side equipment to instrument changes, docking procedures and emergency recovery. Bespoke Virtual Reality (VR) training can provide a highly effective additional layer of preparation. Augmented Reality (AR) can then provide contextual support when teams encounter the physical equipment.

Clinical training can vary between wards, departments, trainers and hospital sites. Virtual reality helps healthcare organisations standardise SOP training by giving every learner the same procedure, scenario, assessment and feedback.
