Simulated Patient

University of Edinburgh - Simulated Patient Programme
VO67592

We require volunteers from both sexes and all age groups who will pretend to be patients so that students can gain experience in dealing with patients in a relaxed and safe atmosphere. A simulated patient is someone who has been carefully trained to portray the emotional, symptomatic and physical characteristics of an actual patient. They are additionally trained to provide feedback to students on their performance during the simulated patient encounter.

Experience required

No experience is necessary, keen on role play although no acting experience required.

Travel details

Simulated patients are used at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Western General Hospital and the Medical School.

Travel expenses

We pay travelling expenses for all areas used.
