Talk by Nick Peres
Virtual Reality in Healthcare
Nick Peres is the Programme Director of Innovation and Transformation at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.
He is an innovator and researcher in the digital healthcare field, with experience in both broadcast media and the NHS for the last 12 years.
He has created cutting-edge projects for virtual reality (VR) healthcare solutions and pursued a PhD focusing on compassionate behaviour in medical education.
Nick is the founder of PatientVR - designed to educate healthcare workers on non-technical skills through immersive patient perspective scenarios.
He currently co-leads the Digital Futures programme at Torbay, which is nominated for a parliamentary award.
In his talk, Nick Peres will share his experience creating perspective-filmed content for virtual reality (VR), which harnesses the power of immersive storytelling to connect clinicians with the patient's journey.
Nick's work leverages emerging technologies, like VR, in a way that augments, rather than replaces, the human touch.
Nick will share the initiatives at Torbay in establishing the Digital Futures programme, which aims to bring new digital skills into the NHS workforce.
This pioneering programme has been recognised for its innovative approach, becoming blueprinted for NHS England.
Join us to hear how Nick believes we can chart a course towards a healthcare system that is both technologically advanced and profoundly human-centred.
