Our Y10 Health and Social Care students were very lucky to have a visit from the SWITCH staff at New College, Swindon. The Swindon & Wiltshire Innovative Technology Care Hub (SWITCH) is a collaboration between New College Swindon and Wiltshire College to enhance and upskill health and social care staff across Swindon, Wiltshire and beyond.
SWITCH will accelerate skills development in health, care and life science through immersive technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality, where learners ‘learn by doing’ rather than by simply watching. Embedding reality technology allows us to offer unparalleled simulation activities across a broad provision for job roles within hospitals, care homes and beyond. Our students heard about the new T Level being offered there and we hope that many will consider it when they start their college applications in the autumn. Thanks to the SWITCH team our students learned about an amazing facility and opportunity which is right on their doorstep!
