different perspective.&nbsp; What does treatment look and feel like from a patient&#8217;s perspective?<\/p>\n<p>There is a range of VR tools available, with simple options like Google Cardboard giving users a VR experience via their phones.&nbsp; The next step for the&nbsp;Digital Learning team&nbsp;will be exploring&nbsp;further along&nbsp;the spectrum with an HTC Vive, offering a more
