NHS England Technology Enhanced Learning Team‘s National Strategic Vision for Simulation and Immersive Technologies in health and care explores how high-quality simulation-based programmes can be applied to help address system-wide challenges being faced within the health and care sector. Immersive and simulation technologies are revolutionizing health and care education, growing in popularity across all sectors and disciplines, and offering different ways of supporting and engaging with learners. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan describes the need to expand training, improve retention and reform education delivery, including through expanding the use of simulation and improving the adoption of immersive technologies.NHS LPP on behalf of NHSE are leading on the procurement to implement a new Dynamic purchasing System (DPS) as a compliant route to market for buyers and commissioners. The vision is to develop a new national agreement for simulation, extended reality (XR) and other related technology providers focusing on education and training services. The London Procurement Partnership is advertising for suppliers for a Immersive, Simulation and Related Technologies Dynamic Purchasing System.The aim of this dynamic purchasing system is to provide a national NHS approved procurement channel for health and care and education providers (and all public sector bodies) with a route to accessing best in class XR, immersive learning and related technologies; smoothing the way to accelerating and scaling their adoption, driving maximum benefit and solving workforce challenges.The initial category sub-category covered under this DPS are:Sub-category 1.1 – Part task, skills or procedural training technologiesSub-Category 1.2 – Immersive learning hardwareSub-Category 1.3 – Software and applicationsSub-Category 1.4 – Content developmentSub-Category 1.5 – Public, patient and service user educationSub-Category 1.6 – Research, innovation and evaluationSub-Category 1.7 – Professional services and technical supportSub-Category 1.8
