The sight of blood has always mademe nauseous. Ted chuckled when lexpressed my ‘concerns. ‘Oh, don't worry’ he smiled, itonly looks realistic’ He then stopped smiling and explained that, following an initatingly slow start, the health industry is testing the latestin technological devices to transform training for medical staf, a much needed development, he says. ‘Surgeons need practical as well as theoretical training and are passionate about using the technology, which has the potential to provide invaluable hands: ‘on experience, without the need te practise on patients. ‘One of the devices Queen's College of Surgeonsishoping totake ‘advantage ofis mixed reality headsets.

But then again, why srouldn't healthcare take advantage of the latest in technological breakthroughs, much lke the financial ‘and automotiveindustries rave done? I then discover that it isnt all as new as 'd originally thought. Carol Brigsea,a leading surgeon and forward thinker in medical training techniques, has already taught her trainees by live streaming an operation using asimilar technological device, More recently, her undergraduates witnessed the first 360-degree online video of an operation. Her vision has, for some time, been to shake up surgical training and substitute traditional approaches, where, studentsin the operating theatre can barely see surgical procedures, with these new types of tearning methods. Itremains tobe seen whether teachersteachinglessonsin traditional classrooms will e completely replaced or not. However, attitudes towards conventional teaching methods ‘appear to be changing. Icome aviay with the feeling that immersive technologies like the 30 headset, will undoubtedly enhance learning beyond anythingteing experienced currently.

Teachin: ing learners ‘Reporter Lauren Hobbs reveals the barriers to training Early Years Teachors Before becoming a journalist, | was a nursery school teacher. My decision to quit wasn't to do with the actual teaching Itself, rather the poor pay and working conaltions. It came as no surprise to my editor then, that after reading the worrying findings from a detailed study undertaken by children’s charity Education for Children, in collaboration with Young Learners, a fortnightly publication specialising in education for the under 5s, | was keen to find out more about the barriers to taking fon and becoming a qualified Early Years Teacher, or EYT for short. For the majority of employers who responded to the study, the main issue when employing an Early Years Teacher for the under 5s is the high cost of their salaries, | don't want to make them sound profit driven. They weren't. From their responses, it was obvious that they felt disappointed ‘at being unable to offer wages which were comparable to those who had a graduate qualification. ‘As one institution pointed out, ‘the government wants to raise standards of pre-schoo! education with graduate level staff, which is admirable, but | simply don’t have the funds to pay the salaries they expect. It's very frustrating.’ For the candidates who responded, there was a lack of interest in completing several years of training to obtain a quaification in an area which was poorly paid ‘and with limited career progression, even though they understood the need to improve teaching standards. All of which I could relate to from my own pre-journalism experiences. | interviewed Charlotte Raymond, policy advisor at Educate the Children, and posed the question, ‘why does the government bother to encourage graduate entry when the pay simply isn’t available?’ Sho was at a loss. ‘When children attend a nursery led by an EYT, they are 10 percent tine 20 more lkely to reach expected levels of development at age 5. Yet, there is a continued reduction in the numbers completing the training. | simply don't gat why graduate teachers aren't paid what they are worth. It goos against everything we are all trying to achieve” (One senior teacher explained that, although the qualification is not recognised by all elementary schools, they were not dissatisfied with the training, as they felt they were more fully prepared 10 enter the world of teaching, It gave those with the qualification the specialised knowledge to pass (on the skills they had learnt, to help both children and teachers in the classroom, which might not have been possible if they hadn't attended, Even with these benefits, however, many elementary schools felt they were prevented from giving jobs to those holding @ qualification because they couldi't afford the cost. The majority of schoo! ‘managers without qualiid teachers did, though, give their support to members of staff who ‘wanted to pay for the training themselves, whereby they would allow time olf to be taken for work line 32 placements in which teachers could develop their skills further. Of managers who did employ fully, ‘tained teachers, more than half employed a graduate because ot their specialist knowledge in the field of early years development In excess of 350 people in the field of education shared their experiences of the barriers to University graduates entering the workforce. Clearly pre-schools and teaching staff, whether ualified or not, want to offer the best education possible. However, although it's been over ten years since | was where these teachers are now, the challenges are not dissimilar from those |aced, which sadly drove me from a career | had truly wanted to succeed in.
