Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the use of an unsupervised virtual reality training tool. This tool is used to teach nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers and their students how to manage tracheostomy emergencies in children.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Performance in simulation (time to key specific intervention, time to completion of scenario, and number of correct interventions completed)
Time Frame: Measured at the beginning of study and 1 week.
Test the improvement in simulated performance in a pre- and post-test method. Time to key specific intervention and total scenario times will be measured in seconds, with a smaller number indicating better performance. Number of correct interventions will be simple numerical with higher number indicating better performance.
Secondary Outcomes
- Usability using the validated system usability scale(1 week post initiation of intervention)
- Virtual Reality Sickness(1 week post initiation of intervention)
- Knowledge using a bespoke knowledge multiple choice questionnaire adapted from a validated question bank.(Measured at the beginning of study,1 week and 4 weeks post intervention.)
- Participant satisfaction measured using a bespoke data collection tool.(1 week post initiation of intervention)
