Rachel is an experienced nurse, academic and advanced clinical practitioner. Since moving into academia full time in 2016, she has developed software to support the enhancement of advanced practice education to develop knowledge skills and application of correct approaches to clinical examination. Following an initial theoretical study, Rachel is now undertaking her PhD research to investigate and evaluate this approach to inform health education for the future. Within the contemporary key contextual literature there remains a continued lack of pre- and post-intervention testing to quantify any differences, therefore, there is a case for more rigorous research to investigate the impact of XR technologies has upon active learning, skill mastery and how it may impact on patient care.
