Abstract

This paper examines the challenges associated with training healthcare systems to respond effectively to rare, high-risk and complex disaster events. It explores the potential application of virtual reality (VR) simulation in healthcare emergency management training, describes a pilot education programme implemented by a large healthcare organisation for mass casualty incident (MCI) triage training using VR simulation, outlines steps to implement VR simulation into the healthcare emergency management training curriculum, and discusses possible future directions for further development and research in this area.
