People with severe mental illness suffer from a high burden of oral diseases, which can negatively impact their physical and well-being. Despite the burden, they are less likely to engage in health care including accessing dental services. We aimed identify both service users' providers' perspective on barriers facilitators for maintaining use people illness. Qualitative exploration was undertaken using dyadic or one-to-one in-depth interviews users UK diagnosis schizophrenia,...

Simulation technology is widely used in medical education, providing an environment which students can develop and practise a multitude of skills that are relevant to clinical practice, without the risk harm patients.We conducted mixed methods cross-over study with quantitative qualitative outcomes. This analysed students' perceptions two simulation technologies: high-fidelity patient simulator virtual reality. Twenty final year completed questionnaire after having experienced both...

Active observers can benefit vicariously from the experience of hands-on learners in simulation. Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and vicarious theory form theoretical basis for directed observation during simulation teaching, although little is known about impact different technologies on observer experience. This mixed-methods crossover study compared student experiences as using a high-fidelity manikin immersive virtual reality (VR) software. Forty-nine final-year medical students were...
