Abstract
Individuals early in their medical career feel unprepared for acute high-stress clinical situations such as managing a deteriorating patient. Simulation-based learning (SBL) is a method used within medical education to prepare for the clinical environment. SBL has been successfully integrated with virtual reality technology, however there is a lack of literature regarding its use for replicating the stress of a clinical environment and using 360° video to improve fidelity. Our non-specialist team aimed to develop and test the acceptability and feasibility of an interactive 360° video-based virtual reality simulation of a high-stress clinical situation. The simulation was developed within the ten weeks allocated to this project, however standardised measures from our sample could not be collected. Important information regarding the development and creation process was obtained and alpha testing of simulations were perceived acceptable and useful, thus, highlighting the merit of further research in this area.
