Emergency department nurses across NSW will gain valuable real-time experience in stroke care thanks to a new virtual reality (VR) training program developed by the Centre for Advanced Training Systems at the University of Newcastle. Responding to a need for rural, regional and remote areas to have access to regular high-quality training, the TACTICS VR program provides nurses with immersive, interactive and evidence-based training to improve outcomes for people presenting with stroke. Program director and University of Newcastle Professor Rohan Walker said stroke was a time-critical medical emergency and ensuring fast response and treatment times was essential to saving lives and improving stroke recovery.
