We have been developing 360° simulated practice videos for healthcare science students. The students who have taken part in the filming and watched the videos provided feedback on whether this would benefit their learning. We are doing this to continue to strive forward with innovations in virtual learning in line with Health Education England [1]. The simulation-based videos have been created to add to the healthcare sciences units to aid in ‘real-life’ teaching styles, to help build confidence and resilience in healthcare students, and to provide multidisciplinary, patient-focused scenarios that can be included in assessments [2]. First and third-year paramedic students took part in mass casualty scenarios filmed at our student’s union building. They worked with Critical Care Practitioners, Academics, Nurses in practice, and the National Ambulance Resilience Unit to create handover videos involving assessing casualties to create videos for other healthcare professionals. Follow-up videos were then filmed on the 360° cameras in the simulation suites to represent an accident and emergency environment as this is where mental health crisis assessments can take place. The adult psychosis presentation was filmed and shows ‘psychiatric liaison nurses’ played by second-year MSc and BSc mental health students assessing the person with suspected psychosis and making clinical decisions. The scenario mental state examination and the case study were scripted. Students could view the 360° videos using virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift [3]. The student feedback evaluation data was collected via an online survey and focus group discussions (FGDs). A survey was completed with n=30 students across all fields of nursing students and paramedic students. The student FGD evaluations were very positive about alternative simulated learning styles with one student quoting ‘It will make an assessment of mental health patients a lot easier for students using appropriate tools and models’. Students found that simulation-based learning experience is an excellent addition to traditional learning approaches as it met the requirements for different learning styles. This research project brought together academics and practitioners from across practice and university. Future work should build on these resources based on feedback from students and service users. 1. National Health Service/Health Education England. 2020.

There are increasing concerns about the mental health and well-being of young people, including how this has been negatively affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and social media. Community nurses are in an ideal position to promote positive mental health and ensure timely referral to appropriate services to ensure that young people can access the support they need. This article explores how the pandemic and social media have affected young people's mental health, particularly in relation to anxiety. It also explains how nurses can discuss these issues with young people and their parents or guardians about mental health and social media. Keywords adolescents, anxiety, child and adolescent mental health, child health, communication, mental health, mental health therapies, professional, psychosocial interventions, social media Aims and intended learning outcomesThe aim of this article is to enable nurses to consider the effects that social media can have on anxiety levels in young people and to assist nurses in promoting mental health among this population. There are various definitions of what constitutes 'young people', but in the context of this article it refers to those aged up to 18 years. After reading this article and completing the time out activities you should be able to:1 | P a g e • Explain the difference between mental health and a mental illness or disorder.• Recognise why the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and increased social media use have led to concerns about the mental health of young people.• Understand the nurse's role in promoting mental health and well-being.• Feel confident in having conversations with young people about mental health and referring them to appropriate support services.
