Case Study: University of Lincoln saves time and builds nursing assessment confidence with Oxford Medical Simulation

University of Lincoln saves 200 hours of staff time with Oxford Medical Simulation

The University of Lincoln sought to innovate its nursing education and optimize its assessment processes. The challenge was to find an alternative to traditional, resource-intensive in-person simulations (OSCEs) that would save staff time without sacrificing quality. They turned to Oxford Medical Simulation for its VR platform to meet this need.

Oxford Medical Simulation provided VR scenarios that allowed students to practice and be assessed in a virtual environment. This solution drastically reduced the workload for staff, saving 200 hours of clinical skills space time and enabling OSCEs to be completed in half a day instead of a week. Overall student results improved, with data showing a correlation between practice time in the OMS platform and higher assessment scores.
