UCD will be involved in developing the criteria for inclusion of rehabilitation programmes on the `virtual clinic'. Eight regional pilots (including UCD) will act as showcases integrating virtual reality rehabilitation programmes in various healthcare settings. UCD's pilot study will involve testing virtual reality with people living with chronic pain.
