From Cockpit to Critical Care: The role of Immersive Technology with Jamie Anderson and Lily Stanley

In this episode of the Pre-hospital Care Podcast, we explore a
cutting-edge innovation that’s transforming how HEMS clinicians
are trained for high-stakes, life-saving procedures, such as
thoracotomy, resuscitative hysterotomy, and other HALO
interventions. We’re joined by Jamie, founder of Maxres, and
Lily, a Critical Care Doctor, to discuss how immersive headset
training is being introduced into clinical education, starting
with the Thames Valley Air Ambulance.


Jamie brings a unique perspective from his time as a pilot and
helicopter flight instructor in the Royal Air Force, where he
experienced first-hand the value of scenario-based, immersive
learning. Combined with Lily’s background as a prehospital
critical care doctor, their expertise is helping shape a new
frontier in clinical preparedness for the most complex and
time-critical interventions.


Together, we unpack how the MaxRes system works, the science
behind its development, and the real-world impact it’s having on
clinical performance, confidence, and decision-making. We also
look to the future, exploring how this technology could
revolutionise pre-hospital education, expand into new clinical
domains, and deliver highly realistic, repeatable, and effective
training experiences.


Whether you’re a critical care paramedic, HEMS doctor, educator,
or healthcare innovator, this episode offers an exciting look at
where pre-hospital training is heading and how technology
developed for the skies is now making a difference on the ground.
