So this happened today VR READY #collaboration #qualitative #research

Reviewing focus group transcripts for VR READY. A privilege to hear from ICU survivors and families. Moving and powerful descriptions of their experiences. Eg “I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t move but I could think”; “I felt vulnerable”; “Why me? Why not me?”

Steering group meeting this week to decide on our top priorities for the VR Patient and Family package. Previous focus group participants who have volunteered for this new group, keep an eye out for our email. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Great fun today filming AHPs explaining their roles for our VR intervention. This was requested by our focus group patients who struggled to remember who did what. Thanks team! Health and Care Research Wales Cwm Taf Morgannwg Critical Care Rescape Innovation Ltd

Phase 3 of this study is now up and running in Cwm Taf Morgannwg Critical Care. Thanks to our research team, focus group participants and of course our patients and families who are willing to trial this co-produced virtual reality intervention.
