Challenge

The UK’s National Health Service, the UK’s national public health care provider, trains thousands of healthcare assistants, nurses, and doctors every year and employs some 1.5 million people, making it a top five employer globally. As a result, the NHS is constantly searching for better ways to train their employees and achieve better learning results.

One problem they identified was that certain subject areas were challenging for learners using conventional training methods, which are both costly and time consuming. They needed a solution that would accelerate knowledge transfer of key subject areas, reduce costs, and improve the number of people who can be exposed to training.

Emerging (technology has been on the market for > 2 years)

Impact #1	[Cost Reduction - Labor] Trainees can now practice without the need for individual mannequins or subject matter experts using AR. This reduces the cost, but also the man hours needed to qualify trainees.
Impact #2	[Efficiency Improvement - Training] Through engaging and interactive materials the training is remembered longer, completed quicker, and results in better on the job decision making.
