Genomics Training Academy launches virtual reality programme

The Genomics Training Academy (GTAC) recently launched a virtual reality (VR) laboratory training programme in all 7 NHS Genomic Laboratory Hubs (GLHs). Each GLH has received state-of-the-art VR headsets loaded with educational modules covering core laboratory techniques and procedures. As part of the GTAC’s model of hybrid education, the VR programme aims to supplement traditional training by providing immersive experiences that help learners gain confidence and knowledge even before entering the lab. Learners have responded positively to this innovative approach, noting its effectiveness in deepening their understanding of genomic laboratory techniques.
