What people say about Bodyswaps
"I have been waiting for VR to transform the way we educate people for the last 15 years – finally Bodyswaps has produced what I have been waiting for."
Anne Scrimshaw
Fab Lab Manager, Sandwell College
South Yorkshire Primary Care Workforce & Training Hub
"I can highly recommend it as a fantastic learning tool! I was very impressed with the quality of the information delivered, the level of interactivity and variety of teaching methods."
Delia Whitworth
Health and Social Care Lecturer, City of Wolverhampton College
"Students really appreciated the use of this type of simulation for communication skills training because of the psychological safety it offered them, regardless of the device they chose to use."
Elizabeth Stone
Assistant Dean & Associate Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"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."
Pauline McKeever
Associate Head Global Engagement and Educational Partnerships
"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."
Liz Leggott
Project Manager, South Yorkshire Primary Care Workforce & Training Hub
