Skills For Education

Elevate your communication with our expert ‘Simulated Patient’ services…

We specialise in providing professionally trained actors to educational institutions for immersive communication skills training and examination support. Our skilled actors authentically portray "Simulated Patients" in realistic, hands-on consultations with students. They engage in a wide range of scenarios, from delivering difficult news and explaining medical procedures, to navigating complex ethical dilemmas.

We provide personalised, constructive feedback with an ethical practice that guides all our interactions. Our aim is to inspire students to cultivate compassionate attitudes and develop their rapport and empathy, whilst enabling them to be able to effectively identify patients ideas, concerns and expectations.

For almost three decades we have worked closely with medical, veterinary and dental students at the University of Glasgow. Over this time, we have also contributed to numerous healthcare training courses, including psychiatry, psychology, pharmacy, and law. Our services have been utilised and trusted by major organizations including the NHS.

With this extensive experience, we are now proud to offer premier simulated patient services, with expert facilitation and specialised training which can be tailored to meet the needs of students, educators, and academic institutions alike.
