Abstract
With the advancement of innovative technology, healthcare professionals stand to benefit from adjustments to procedural skills training/assessment introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this essay, we reflect on the development of a virtual reality (VR)-based training programme to support medical and nursing staff in procedural skills for central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, related communication skills and situation awareness. The remote delivery was a direct response to the impact of the pandemic and is likely to remain as an educational strategy on our centre.
