Our take

Virtual Reality (VR) has revolutionized our perception of the world, transforming everything from gaming to metaverse boardroom meetings. Oxford Medical Simulation, as the name implies, harnesses VR technology for medical training.

Medical simulation has traditionally relied on hiring actors to portray patients with diverse medical conditions, a costly and time-consuming process that limits the opportunities for medical staff to engage in such training. Oxford Medical SImulation's VR solution provides a scalable and repeatable platform for interactive exercises at a fraction of the traditional cost, greatly enhancing accessibility in medical education. This approach is especially valuable in medical fields like surgery, where traditional methods fall short in simulating real-life scenarios.

The company has firmly established itself in a somewhat niche market and has formed partnerships with various NHS trusts and hospitals throughout the UK. As it moves forward, Oxford Medical Simulation is poised for expansion in its mission to further impact medical education.
