The Skills Lab

The Skills Lab

Developed in conjunction with key employers, our Virtual Reality resources and Skills Lab provides an environment that allows learners to experience a real social care environment, including equipment for core skills such as profile beds, full scale patient care manikins, hoists, stand aids, medication trolleys and a fully equipped medical kit to suit all clinical needs.

Our Skills Labs create an environment that is specifically constructed in order for role play and simulation learning to take place. Simulation learning enables learning to fine tune and focus on important skills. The Skills Lab’s encompasses all learning styles and gives learners a way to explore without holding back. The facilities is specifically catered to benefit not only the learner but also employers.

The Skills Labs also change attitudes towards training making learners more proactive, productive and prepared whilst protecting service users with the correct techniques and evidence based practice.

Scenarios have been written by our experienced Trainers to give a true feel to a social care environment, creating proactive individualised care and ensuring that empathy and compassion is at the heart of the care.

VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCES

Interactive Virtual Reality experiences puts our learners at the centre of the action, providing a unique and memorable experience that traditional training videos cannot match. Virtual realities are designed for our interaction for very specific reasons to create experiences not otherwise possible.

Virtual reality will allow us to create any environment for simulated interactions and at Embark Learning we are using top of the range equipment to bring you the best, possible experience. Virtual reality allows learners to gain knowledge, whilst building experience by ‘learning through practice’ without inconvenience. It also gives learners the ability to revisit scenarios at their own pace.

The 360 videos in addition helps learners gain a new perspective, it provides a unique way of empathising with service users and understand what it feels like for them in everyday life. It encourages learners to reflect on their practice when out in the field and offers a new insight that cannot be achieved without Virtual Reality.
