Grateful to have attended and presented at this year's ICBRA, engaging with many insightful talks on the latest research. Many thanks to SETU Research postgrad fund for the travel grant, and a special shout-out to the local fellows for their hospitality and unique introduction to the culture. A valuable experience, with plenty of Aperol Spritz!

Fantastic to see such incredible equipment available at Walton Institute

South East Technological University's Department of Nursing and Healthcare recently hosted the 'You, me and Palliative Care' event as part of Palliative Care Week 2024. Dr Christina O'Loughlin and James O'Rourke from the XR Group, part of the Mobile Ecosystem and Pervasive Sensing Division at Walton Institute, demonstrated how Virtual Reality (#VR) can be used as an innovative therapeutic tool to help alleviate symptoms associated with palliative care. Attendees were invited to immerse themselves in a nature-based VR experience and provide valuable feedback on how this technology could be applied in palliative care settings. Their insights will contribute to Phase 1 of a collaborative study with Geraldine Purcell and SETU's Department of Health Science, focused on the feasibility and acceptability of a personalised VR intervention in palliative care. This pioneering pilot study applies User-Centred Design, Participatory Action, and Engagement Research frameworks to explore the therapeutic potential of VR. The team are committed to advancing research that can positively impact healthcare and enhance patient well-being 🙌 #PalliativeCareWeek #VirtualReality #HealthcareInnovation #WaltonInstitute #SETU #XRResearch #MEPSResearch #PalliativeCare #Healthcare #VRInHealthcare #Nursing #Students
