Four Nations Responsible AI in Healthcare Education Conference

Posted on: March 17th, 2026 by Sarah Freeman No Comments

AI in Educational Assessment: Reforming, Redesigning and Reshaping

Conference date: 23 April 2026, 13.30 – 17.00, Online

This conference session will explore how AI is reshaping educational assessment, examining where AI should be integrated, limited, or reconsidered across learning and professional contexts. We consider AI assessment to include a broad range of activities that aim to understand what a candidate knows thinks and can do, both summative and formative. Through real examples and current practice, we will showcase what AI‑enhanced assessment can look like in practice. We will also focus on building capability and confidence for educators and learners, including responsible use, integrity, and detection.

Themes

Responsible AI in assessment policies, principles and good practice to protect assessment integrity
This theme focuses on how we use AI safely and ethically in assessments, making sure assessments stay fair, trustworthy, and aligned with professional standards.
Keeping people at the centre of AI enhanced assessments
This theme highlights the continued importance of human judgement as we adopt AI into various parts of assessment activity. Even when AI is involved, educators and assessors remain responsible for decisions, fairness, and supporting learners.
Developing staff and student confidence to use AI in assessment
This theme is about building the understanding and skills needed to work with AI in assessments—practically, ethically, and in ways that improve learning.

The Simulation and Immersive Technologies Programme in 2025: a year of collaboration, innovation and growth

Posted on: December 12th, 2025 by Naomi Brennan No Comments

The Becoming Simulation Faculty programme expanded capability and capacity to design, deliver and evaluate simulation and immersive learning at a national scale.

Programme enrolments rose by 40%, core course eLearning completions increased by over 135% and attendees at regional workshops increased by 270%

Four advanced eLearning topic launched: Simulation Technicians, Evaluation in Simulation-based Education, Extended Reality (XR) and Simulated Participants. A final topic on Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) will launch early 2026.

The programme achieved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation and the core course eLearning programme reached international audiences via e-Integrity.

Our existing national immersive learning programmes were revised in response to educator and student feedback, supported awareness raising sessions, and new programmes were launched.

Facilitation resources were added to Pharmacy ‘A Day in the Life’ and Enhanced Health in Care Homes to encourage group learning and discussion, and videos developed to use the programmes in immersive rooms.

Nursing in Adult Prison Healthcare Settings supported the RCN ‘Prison Nursing Unlocked’ exhibition and was demonstrated at the exhibition’s launch and to support The History of Art in Prisons event.

Return to Practice for Nursing, Nursing Associates and Midwifery programme broke new ground as the first approved blended learning course for nurses returning to practice after career breaks. It was approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and recognised it as “true partnership working.”

To coincide with Allied Health Professional (AHP) day the new Operation Department Practitioner 360-degree video was added to the AHP – Virtual Reality Insight Videos catalogue on Learning Hub.

Our communities of practice continued to flourish, providing both inspiration and support; Virtual Reality in Education (VRE) rebranded as Extended Reality in Education (XRE) to reflect changes in the XR landscape and community needs and Digital Innovation in Health and Care Education (DIHCE) successfully relaunched with a focus on current health education trends, innovation and the future-facing technologies.

We worked with the wider TEL team to promote our national educator resources to regional nursing colleagues and universities through a series of webinars which received positive comments from attendees including and “this has been revelatory”, and continued to provide evidence to support the impact and opportunities of immersive learning with over 40 case studies across a range of immersive technologies and care settings.

We collaborated with the NHS England Accessibility team on our updated accessibility guide which provides support when creating or commissioning virtual reality 360-degree video and our paper with the University of Leeds on Extended Reality–Enhanced Mental Health Consultation Training: Quantitative Evaluation Study was published.

Interest in the Immersive, Simulation and Related Technologies Dynamic Purchasing System continued to grow and we now have over 40 approved suppliers to support health and care education

Finally, we worked with stakeholders across the UK, the Republic of Ireland and Association of Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPIH) to develop the Professional Development Framework for Interprofessional Simulation in Health and Care. The framework provides a structure to build confidence and expertise in simulation and is designed to align with national priorities, including NHS England’s 10 Year Health Plan.
