Imagine escaping to a tranquil forest narrated by the soothing voice of Sir David Attenborough, all while managing pain and finding peace. This isn’t a scene from a movie; it’s the groundbreaking reality at Prospect Hospice, thanks to pioneering virtual reality (VR) technology.
Prospect Hospice is leading the way in the Southwest, using VR to provide innovative pain relief for patients.
During her most recent visit the President of Prospect Hospice, The Queen, tested the charity’s virtual reality headsets and so can you at its first-ever Business Breakfast.
