The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is piloting a new initiative using avatars powered by artificial intelligence to train its staff, marking a groundbreaking step in the social care sector. Led by **health tech firm Cera**, the project utilizes an avatar based on a real-life trainer to onboard new employees and teach critical skills, such as identifying stroke signs. This method could potentially train up to 20,000 carers every year if adopted nationally. While the avatar-based system offers the benefits of scalability and cost-efficiency, industry experts, including Dr. Ben Maruthappu from Cera and representatives from Age UK and Adass, underscore the enduring importance of hands-on, practical training in healthcare.
