Who is it for?

"One student, who’d never done VR before, was so happy with the immediacy of the learnings from Bodyswaps that they felt it was probably one of the most valuable things they’d done as a first year."

"It very quickly became apparent that the ability to practise conversations - whether they're clinical conversations or general communication skills, in a safe space with no one else listening and no one paying attention where, if you made a mistake, you hit reset and you could start again - was amazing and it really opened people's eyes up to that."
